Morning comrades
My girlfriend had a head-on with the back of a car and managed to bend the Swinnerton's downtube (and thus, i suspect, the top tube to a lesser extent) to the point where the wheel now presses against the downtube and wont spin.
does anyone know if a) the frame is likely to be a write-off? and b) any recommended london shops of framebuilders who'd be a good go-to for a quote on a fix? frame has sentimental value etc.
weirdly enough, the wheel itself is still true and spins fine. Pics below.
