Bent.

And the rust pattern shows where the damage to the frame is; forks and top of the downtube. It's been rammed into something, I'd avoid...

That's knackered mate. Bent at the crown & damage on top & down tubes as above by the look of it.
Would guess at a hard front impact

Na Tony, I just seen this one lying for the dump so I lifted it

I'm in no desperate need for a project unless the frame is going free ๐Ÿ™‚

I've got a Raleigh in the shed with near enough the same frame and forks. Your bike's definitely bent.

Might be worth whipping the suicide levers off and getting them on ebay?

Hmm...

It was ridden by an a man, 6' 2", who worked for a while as a pharmacist, then got a job at B & Q. He walked with a limp because his father stole his milk as a child, leading to him developing ricketts, and he liked women over 80 kgs, although he was unable to consomethinge any relationship owing to penile numbness from that saddle.

Perhaps...

Watson, bring me more cocaine...

Looks like the forks and frame are bent and it would be dangerous to ride. Will make a perfect conversion for riding around Laandan on wearing your sisters jeans and a messenger bag with nothing in it ๐Ÿ˜†
