Framebuilders a question!
I picked up this 2012 croix de fer for cheap knowing it took a knock, the rear end was out of alignment and needed straightening.
Got this back from a local Framebuilder and said its best to scrap the frame 🤔.
He mentioned that the Drop out alignment was easy to sort out, wheel is straight with the frame / bb. However he said he can't get the seatstay straight and he straightened the rest "too easy" meaning the frame is past it's tolerances?
I'm unsure what to think to be honest, I don't know whether he's airing on caution and not putting the effort in on something that isn't worth it.
Or he genuinely tried to straighten it and he couldn't?
So to the question - what to do!?
I'd like to not scrap it to be honest, that would be a shame.
Repairable?
