An update: took the bike to Evans earlier for them to show me how bent the frame is. The bike is still under warranty, but I'm struggling to see the point in getting a replacement unless it is to sell it to an unsuspecting victim on eBay. I think my morals may be too high to do that though.
Been offered a cheap Falcon 531 frame for the time being. It will have to do until I save up a bit of money I guess.
I wish I had found this forum prior to buying the 'Uni and back'. I feel a bit sick to the stomach seeing what I could have bought for the same money.
Thank you for the welcome.
