Double bent seat stay

dweenk · 03-23-2013, 02:45 PM

I have a Schwinn Traveler with a seat stay that has two bends. In addition, the entire rear triangle is shifted to the drive side by about .5 inches. Is this repairable? There are no cracks or dimples in any of the tubes, and this is one of the "good Travelers" (CroMo + forged dropouts & hanger). The paint sucks however - looks like it may have been in a low temp smoky fire. Any hope here?

I posted a photo on this, but I do not see it. What did I do wrong?
