Bikes: Current favorites: 1988 Peugeot Birraritz, 1984 Gitane Super Corsa, 1980s DeRosa, 1981 Bianchi Campione Del Mondo, 1992 Paramount OS, 1988 Colnago Technos, 1985 RalieghUSA SBDU Team Pro

Neither bike is that bad condition. I enlarged the 1st picture of the PGN and didn't see any kinking or creasing.

Both [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] and I have straightened frames in much worse condition.

The Peugeot PGN is made of Reynolds 501 which is 4130 chrome moly steel and will take a lot of cold working. To be hit hard enough to break off the NDS crank spindle and have that little frame damage speaks to the strength of the tubing.

The whole frame probably needs realignment. I'd be more concerned that the wheels are toast.
