it was and a claims on the cards,  thats why i was asking where/who can do the repair because,  hopefully,  i'll have some money to pay for it.

can the bottom part of the dropout be pulled "down"  as well as left and right?

thanks for the help everyone.

If a claim's on the cards,get it done by a professional metal fabricators,heat will probably factor. then a re powder. Sting em for the full amount, although they'll probably try and wriggle out of it.

DJL:
cheers hutchman,  i'll see how the claim pans out.

dordymush:
i'd be tempted to get a bit of cloth on em and a big set of adjustables and bend em back myself.

can you bend the bottom part down though?  i can see you could potentially bend them back in line left/right but what about downwards??

dordymush:
i would'nt have thought it would go down mate.
not without a lot of heat anyway.sawzall or animal are the men to pm.

how hard must they have dropped it to do that to your frame.
i'd have wrapped it round there necks.
