Nope. No idea how it got bent. Otherwise the bike is almost flawless, just a few scuffs in the paint here and there. When I opened up the hubs to overhaul, there was no wear on the bearing races at all. Almost like the bike got ridden, but only home from the shop, then hung in the garage. As far as the dork disc goes, the bike is all Suntour, so to get it off I'd need 2 chain whips to remove the cassette, which I don't have. I'm sure If I thought about it some I could figure a way to get it off, but it doesn't bother me that much....
