Frame straightening?
« on: December 17, 2007, 08:52 PM »
Is it possible/advisible?
Headtube is slightly out compared to the seat tube when viewed from the front. Hope it makes sense. ???

Put the bb in a vice,with soft jaws of some sort,find a long bar to fit in the head tube(good fit) and start pulling on the bar,keep looking down the frame to see when its inline :daumenhoch:

Send a pm to Fuzzynod, he may be able to get his chassis building buddy to tweak that frame for you   :)
