Or how about the other old chestnut - "That'll buff right out."
To you skilled metal workers out there, that may be fixable and rideable. With my dearth of such skills, my head and heart say "find something else." If it were a 1963 Unobtanium, Model Object-of-Decades'-of-Unrequited-Lust, in otherwise original condition, in my size, and someone I trust (someone like gugie, PortlandJim, bulgie or Ed Litton) assured me it would be safe for someone of my (large) size to ride the straightened result of "cold setting" that out (and that it would ride okay when straightened), I might -
might - feel differently. As it is, the conservative side of my nature has no problem saying I would not want it, for free or otherwise.
Besides, it's too small.
