Frame Alignment Fun!
So the shop owner ask me to check out a mountain bike frame that had the rear triangle buggered up. Since it is a steel frame I said I would give it a go. Brought it home tonight and put it on my alignment table. But the BB shell is 95mm so I can't do the tweaking on the whipping post as I don't have enough thread length to tighten it down. So I will use it to measure my progress as I go from vise to post.
The other factor is the frame has a thru axle. So it is a bit more finicky. But I made some progress and the axle is very close to being in alignment.
Anyway here is some activity for the forum!
Thanks Doug & Andy!

Tom- I should have suggested that you try to get a photo or three of the before condition. Andy

So since the rear axle is a thru axle I found out that it is a proprietary size! This was confirmed by the guys at Robert Axle Project. So the bike brand is Chromag in British Columbia. Got an email in to them to get the delivery info.
