Check out the rear drop, if I choose to fix it, what would be the best way to go?

Steel is an amazingly ductile material. I'd slip it into a vice and squeeze it back into place. You may want to align the derailleur hanger though, either wing it with a crescent, use the tool if you have it or take it by a shop.

Clamp in vise, and gradually bend back. Did so with a '85 Somec once - worked out beautifully. Don't lob off the derailer hanger though - finding a nice model Schwinn with a hanger is a wee bit difficult.

but do look at those drops carefully, they are not forged, that piece you see that looks raised is just a thin piece of metal attatched to the derailluer =(

I strongly advise you to avoid the temptation to amputate the derailleur hanger. When the current fixie fad dies a merciful, deserved death, you or a future owner will be very glad you left the derailleur tab intact.

If not when. I've been riding a fixie for a year now and haven't got the urge to trade in for a geared bike so far...

I've straightened bent dropouts and bent hangers by this method very easily.
