I had a Cyclops track frameset that I used as a fixed gear bicycle when I had to go to Hamilton Ontario from the Kitchener Ontario area. I took the bus and then road the bike in Hamilton to my appointments. One day an idiot wrong direction riding bicyclist zoomed onto King Street without stopping and I ran into him. I badly bent the downtube and top tube of that frame. I was able to brace my feet against the bottom bracket shell and pull really hard on the fork and got the thing straightened enough to be able to ride it. Unfortunately the cost to fix and paint the frame was more than the frame was worth. I sure wish I'd have been able to grab that stupid bicyclist.
Cheers
