Thanks for the advice chaps. I'm taking it to East Central Cycles who say that they can check the alignment out and see what's what. My curiosity got the better of me last night and I started to pick off the cracked paint. Underneath is the primer and there are no cracks in that so have I got away with it?
It's a steel frame so could the cracks in the pain just have been caused by the tubes dissipating the shock?
The more I look at it the more I'm convincing myself of things so it'll be good to get a fresh set of eyes on the job. I'm convinced that the bars are bent but as they're just some light BMX race cruiser bars, if thats the only casualty, I'll be ok with that.
