Definitely broken 🙂
I'm interested in the mode of faliure. Did the weld go or was it cut up?
I did wonder if it was some sort of folding bike strung together by cables?
Seems weird that the frame is so broke, yet the wheels are still round...
Anyways that teach em to run disc's on a road bike!
😀
They could be S&S couplings.

But I think your right its snapped...
How random 🙂
Also seems to be locked on the (no longer attached to the rest of the bike) toptube. Thieves trying to pry the lock?
Pretty sure thats the Shell Garage on Chelsea Embankment.
