Subject: [CR]Hetchins frame/fork repair

Hi all,
    Yesterday I had the pleasure doing an over-the-handlebars crash with my D.M. Hetchins. (Don't ask) Anyway...I only lost one spoke and was able to nurse it & me home. Visually, the frame appears okay (no ominous ripples under the down tube or top tube). The fork, however,is pretty wamperjawed. Do ya'll have any suggestions as to who I could send off both frame & fork for a precision realignment? I know Dale has some painters listed on the C.R. sight, but I'm not sure who the good tube benders are. Also, I don't know if it matters, but the fork & main tubes are 653, with 531 curly seat& chain stays. Thanks for your help. I wish everyone, & especially webmaster Dale a happy holiday.
