Wonder if the chain is salvageable?
I suspect trying to get the right chain and seat stay to approximate their original lengths will be the tough part. The left side looks like a more straightforward (no pun intended) dropout alignment once the BB lug area is assessed.
Good practice frame for severe repairs. Think if it was Aluminum, titanium or worse, carbon.
It slipped right out. Pushed the wheel forward of the drops, removed the derailer from the dropout for ease, unwrapped the chain, and the wheel tried to fall to the floor. Chain looks fine.
Part of the axle is missing on the rear Phil hub, and the inner shaft started to pull out as I undid the drive side bolt.
Speaking of which, this has to be in a vise for any straightening. It's most definitely not budging at all - even with the Park straightening tool - if in the conventional stand (not that one would want to, lest they damage the seattube). Still, but this compound bend is a lot stronger than one might think from looking at it:
Some more looks at the impressive carnage on the tire and rim:
