Ideas to bend frame back


Recommended Posts

I've fixed more than I can count, if it's really bad I usually cut it clean off put a smaller pipe inside as a sleeve, drill some holes plug weld it and surface weld , grind it and it's  undetectable after paint. As blowit said heat is a must , big cheater bar or pipe and go slow. You need to tear that bitch down get rid of anything bent that will throw your eyes off then get frame level using your bottom rails as a starting point. It really depends on your level of skill and patience . If your doing it yourself a new frame is not a bad idea but if I'm working on a customer bike it's cheaper to have me fix it compared to tearing down and swapping everything .

I heated it and bent it using a porta power it wasn't a bad enough bend to have to to cut it off and re weld but it's straight now thanks for the suggestion though
