That's always the way I look at those things too.

Use your vice and then play with a set of Pony clamps as spreaders and such. Put some pipe or solid bar cut to 135mm between the dropouts and clamp that part in the vice. Then start jacking around the other stuff, measuring triangulation as you go, and see if you can get things back in alignment. Just always try to use slow pressure and leverage instead of brute hammer force. Use your imagination of stuff around your shop to exert the leverage/pressure you need. If you have a Porta-Power set and/or an arbor press, all the better.
Not a bad idea, I'll see if I can bum a set.
