In other news, I finally fixed that "scrap" genesis croix de fer I found on ebay.
As @PhilDAS suggested, I cut the seatstay bridge out and straightened (the best I could with what I had) the rear out, once that was okay I braze in a new seat stay bridge.
I think the it went okay and im pleased I managed to save a frame that was deemed scrap metal.
Using a frame alignment gauge at work it seems the frame sits a little (1 - 2mm) off centre to the right, which in an ideal world woundnt exist. I put that down to inexperience.
Though the 25 minute ride each way to work was joyess, the frame tracked and rode fine and I couldn't feel any issues.
All in all, a couple of quid in meterials, a few hours spent, loads of things learnt, success? I think so.
