Bikes: It's complicated.

I would like to see what [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] could do with this. He saved a fairly twisted fork from an old Schwinn Voyager for me, to say nothing of the magic he worked on [MENTION=401497]RiddleOfSteel[/MENTION]'s Paramount, and he's constantly coming up with new tricks. I suspect a lot will depend on where it's bent.
