Frame question

While I was working on my bike last night I noticed that the right hand side rear frame (where the taillight mounts) is about a 1/4" lower than the left side (most likely from the accident). Is there any way to straighten this or would it be easier/more beneficial to just get a new frame?

Or should I live with it and just adjust the mounts so everything looks good overtop? As far as I know this is the only spot that it's bent

Thanks

I tweaked the frame of my 600 race bike and had it straightened by GMD computrack, so I'd say it can probably be fixed. I don't who in your area can do it though... search around.

Nope, MPI (manitoba public insurance) refuses to share that kind of information including previous owners ect...

I have the pics from the MPI site, took the biek apart as soon as I got it home, thinking that I should take pics first only to find out that MPI needs clear pics of all side before doing anything to the bike (not sure why they don't take the pics they need while they have the bike), so I put it all back together best I could took pics and then stripped it back down, one of these days I'm gonna upload the pics.

Sorry the pics aren't better but that's what they had on the auction site, when I get a chance I'll upload the ones I took.

Clicking on the picture will take you to the Webshots site then clicking on that pic will make it bigger and blurrier
