Distinguishing features

This is a bike I got off CL from a guy named Dan. He looked like a college student and when I went to pick it up, he was moving and apparently just wanted it out of his life. He told me one of his buddies got drunk and fell on the bike. This caused the handlebars to bend inward on one side and also bent a rear wheel spoke. Tightened the spoke and cut the handlebars, flipped them upside down and made Bullhorns out of it.
