Hey there.
First post and first foray into fixed gear.
My WTH just arrived today and as I am putting it together I find that the front left drop out is bent and will not accept the wheel. I will attach a picture, but it was hard to capture on camera. I have put in an email to BD customer service and am awaiting their reply as to how to proceed. While waiting for their response, I thought that I would check in here.
One question I have is should I proceed with putting the rest of the bike together? I am wondering if anyone has dealt with a similar issue and do they just replace the fork or the whole bike? If it is going to be the whole bike then there is no need to finish putting it together.
My other question would be, if they are going to just replace the fork, would it be a horrible idea to try and bend the drop out back into reasonable shape?
I sure would like to ride my new bike....

TIA for the responses!
