about 2 months old. no bend or crack. one side is a little scraped because i rode pegs on that side. it has been cut 3/8 inches shorter to be used in baby scs. however it is still compatible with standard size scs. you just need a longer bolt. i will include a longer bolt upon request for a small additional charge. currently no star nut but i will be glad to put one in for you. paypal only
