Hey Andy

I'd have to find a way to determine whether the frame is straight, I think I saw a youtube video on how to do this with string...
Basically the other cyclist clipped the front wheel, we took the wheel to a bike shop to get the dent in the steel wheel taken out, they did a pretty good job on that.
The GF doesn't "need" the bike, but she loves it because of the style and the fact that its vintage, she has an affinity to vintage things in general. She's okay with riding a heavy steel bike slowly and comfortably taking pictures of it in a beautiful setting in nature etc..
She's 4'11 so finding a modern bike with a vintage look is not as easy. I'd post a pic when I get to 10 posts, but I'd like to exhaust our options before giving up on this one. Shawn
