Bent seat stay
Hello folks.
My current favorite bike is my 80's? Norco Monteray that started life as a 12 speed down tube shifter steel framed bike. I bought it for forty bucks, tuned it up, took it for it's maiden ride with me where it proceeded to ****e it's derailleur.
No problem, it wanted to be a single speed. So, I broke the chain, took off the shifter, cables and the rest of the junk I didn't need and proceeded to ride it 52x15. I've ridden it for about 500kms in the past few months like that and just love it. It's very fast this way and I can't believe how toned up my body has become just from riding in one gear. I plan to get myself a flip flop whell built for it at least if not a straight fix wheel. Also, I plan to have track end welded into the frame at some point in the future.
Now, to get to my point. I had a bead seperate on a ride and had to take the long walk home for about an hour the other week. As I was walking and carryin the bike, I noticed my right seat stay had a slight bend in it. Is this fixable? Is there a shop in the Toronto area that can bend that back? Also, can this shop install track end? Thanks all, sorry about the super long post.
Gurgus.
