Christopher C. 10.0+ mi replied to Christopher C. 10.0+ mi's discussion 'Suggestions on who to use to straighten a Steel frame??'"Thanks guys. Ill drag the frame out and see who can get it fixed up. I'm sure the wait will be long due to all the tune ups and new sales this time of year.
Haddon I'll post up some pics when I get the frame out of storage. Right now it…"
El Guicho replied to Christopher C. 10.0+ mi's discussion 'Suggestions on who to use to straighten a Steel frame??'"One more vote for Wastyn Cycles, they have worked and aligned many high end frames for me. I have trusted them with cinellis, merckx, paramounts and never had any issues."
Lanterne Rouge replied to Christopher C. 10.0+ mi's discussion 'Suggestions on who to use to straighten a Steel frame??'"Actually, now that I think of it...is there anyone in Chicago that could add some water bottle braze-ons for me? About how much would that cost?"

John C. Wilson replied to Christopher C. 10.0+ mi's discussion 'Suggestions on who to use to straighten a Steel frame??'"Actually Emil Wastyn made the name as a six-day mechanic. Which entailed such things as replacing dropouts trackside. He was a good six-day mechanic in a sport that was then major league and global. The whole world of cycling knew Emil. Then they…"
Lanterne Rouge replied to Christopher C. 10.0+ mi's discussion 'Suggestions on who to use to straighten a Steel frame??'"Don't know about welding in new rear drop-outs, but Wastyn Cycles was able to check my frame alignment and bend back a derailleur hanger nobody else would touch. Truthfully, I brought it to them because it's a Schwinn and Wastyn made a…"

Just thought I would tell you I bought John Wilson's Raleigh. Thanks for posting the picture after your wife decided she did not want it. I love it!

I'm looking for $250. The chrome is really special and bright.
I was planning on doing some more work on it before listing it somewhere for sale. As is it would be less. Nothing major needs doing and most things on the bike are seriously exceptional but f'rinstance the back wheel has been over some curbs, some spoke nipples will need to be replaced since they're frozen after 51 years and the rimstrips need replacing as they have welded themselves in. Time consuming small stuff. The bike seems to have done no more than a few hundred miles. If you have any interesting trades especially in the older bike realm I'll consider anything.
If you're still interested contact me direct @ wilsontaxi@yahoo.com
