I purchased a simplex a few months ago. The crash bars were "gently used" and are bent. I don't want to restore a bike with a bent frame component.
It's not looking like they can be bent back into shape sufficiently to look unbent.
I could probably go through the trouble of finding the tubing and a sufficient bender to bend some more. Before I do that, does anyone sell something like that? I'd rather just cut the bent one off and weld on a new one.

I think Wayne used to offer them, not sure if he still does. Go to a racecar fab shop, they should be able to do this.

I used to bend conduit and tubing and know my way around a bender. I know a guy that has a bender but thought it might easier to buy them. I need to get my hands dirty so I'll just order the tubing and see about bending some.
