I Need HEAT

Anyone in the Twin Cities have a portable torch kit, and interested in playing "Straighten-a-Frame?" I've got the vise and the levers. I just need a fire source.



This is the victim:







The right tube (left in the picture above) of the triple spine is bent, and the head tube twisted.







I believe that if we apply heat and leverage in the right places, the spine tube can be straightened, causing the head tube to untwist. I had resigned myself to leaving this for Spring, but after recently acquiring a front end, I'm eager to make some progress.



Any takers? If others want to help, too, we'll order a pizza and make a party of it.
