I was gonna post this in the mechanics section, but I figured you framebuilders would have better input regarding the situation. I have a slight downward bend in my top tube. Its a Columbus SL lugged steel frame. Is it possible to straighten the toptube? Is there anything I can do myself like construct a wood jig and some sort of clamp(s)? Its not an especially valuable frame to me so I'm willing to experiment a little. The slight bend simply bothers me. I suppose if theres no repairing it, I can learn to live with it. I'm mechanically apt. I just have no frame building or repair experience. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
