And now for another episode of Be Fruitless and Fustrify:





The Park chainstay straightening tool could only do so much. But I was impressed at what it did do.



And here's the results after I lost interest - or rather, realized the limitations - of what I can do. The seatstay still makes the rear triangle ludicrously strong (what was that nonsense in the recent Pinarello thread about cold setting rear triangles being bad?), and the left isn't isn't far off from being where it should be.



I was surprised to see it develop a kink here. I think the left stay was pulled backwards so hard that it weakened the 531 on the outside edge. Inner dimple is fine.



Dropout is cracky cracky. Nothing unexpected.





I'm probably going to throw it on Mike Terraferma's frame table anyway. Just for giggles.
