Here is a sad sight - http://www.tastydirty.com/pix/masi-crushed.jpg

The bike was originally painted by Joe Bell and then repainted by Joe Bell. The owner's son wanted a bike to ride but could have used some more work on finesse. He ran the bike into a curb/wall/etc and the result is what you see. The question I have is whether this is reasonably repairable. It seems to me that it would require replacing the top and down tubes and paint. Any thoughts?
