I got a commission to unmangle a frame that had a car back into it (newly purchased bicycle + garage == bad news) and severely bend the rear triangle, so picked up up on tuesday, unbent and aligned it (fortunately the process of unbending it fixed the alignment, because it’s a pretty ancient machine and I’d worry about popping some of the brazes if I actually had to apply the 2x4 of cold-setting justice to the rear triangle), then loaded it up and took it back to the bike shop this afternoon. When it came home it was just lashed to the bob yak trailer, but I took my Thule fork clampy thing off the xtracycle and moved it to the yak before I took it back.

It’s easier to carry a frame when it’s actually fastened down than it is when it’s merely lashed into place.
