Aldo,

I've had alignment done at RRB Cycles in Kenilworth, Illinois (Ron Boi) lately, and I would try Doug Fattic in Niles, Michigan. That's not quite in your area, but I've been very surprised not to get more recommendations for the SE Michigan/Northern Ohio area, back when I looked.

Will you please share what you find? I fear this is a vanishing skill.

Way back in history I had alignment done at Schwab Cycles in Colorado.

My "new" Legnano has a definite twist in the frameset i.e. the headtube and the seattube aren't in the same plane. I've been taking frames to Wheelie Fun in Lebanon, Ohio - they have Mike Melton's old frame table - but we recently discovered that the mast is not perpendicular to the table, making it very difficult to dial-in a frame. (What that might say about Mike Melton's bikes, I don't know ;-)

Anyway, I need a source for frame alignment. Anyone have any suggestion? Perhaps a shop within driving distance of Cincinnati-Columbus-Louisville-Indianapolis?

Thanks for any leads.
