Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

I was going to say "buiild it up and ride it!" because I think you are the only one who can judge if it's as good as pre-crash or not. I am sure I mentioned this before, but my brother had a Miyata that he loved, and he crashed it and bent the frame ever so slightly. The bike shop applied that Park tool, like the one Kurt has, and fixed it so you couldn't tell it had ever been crashed. But my brother never liked that bike again. I honestly don't know why that was; perhaps the only thing warong was in his mind.

Still... if you're not going to build it up and ride it? I don't know. I am in no position to judge.
