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??

Can You post up a pic of the dropouts from the side? Hard to give advice without  :daumenhoch:

Zippy:
Pop the rear of the dropout in a vice wrapped in cotton or some other material. if you're carefull it will just go back into place. I've had to do that on a Tange frame inthe past as they're not the strongest in that area. After I'd done it you couldn't tell it had been bent to begin with.
