Of course. But as has been mentioned before in the thread, there seems to be some uncertainty as to whether the frame has actually been bent (cold set) or merely flexed apart and a wheel jammed into the dropouts. I guess what I'm really asking the OP in post #19 is "did you actually cold set the frame or did you just put a wider-than-the-dropouts hub in it and expect the frame to permanently stay at that spacing?"
And to the OP, I'm not trying to be a smart alleck, just trying to help you figure out what's going on with the frame.
