I bought an old steel voodoo wanga frame on ebay a while back. I suspect that it may be rear-askew.

Can anyone recommend someone who can accurately measure the frame and straighten if necessary/possible.

In the Blackburn/Bolton/Wigan area ideally but will travel if I need to.

It had sliding dropouts - don't know if that matters.

Thanks!

Paul Hewitt in Leyland can probably do it - well equipped workshop and they make custom frames on site so will have a jig etc.

Or try Steve Goff in Skem.

A current colleague used to work at Hewitt's....I will quiz him in the morning.

Cheers.

What makes you think it is bent? Have you tried thread/string from one dropout, around the head tube and back to the other as an initial check of straightness?

oooh, ticking this. I have an 853 inbred with a wonky rear triangle in a box in the garage. Not sure it would be worth it though if this costs a lot - can anyone suggest what it's likely to cost?
