Not a pretty sight – a lovely Rivendell-made Saluki frame with a big dent in the head tube. Fixed it with a special expanding tool inside the head tube and some careful hammering on the outside, now good as new without having to replace the tube.
With a new paint job, it looks gorgeous:
Sorry for old posting. What expanding tool you using?
Thanks.
It’s a custom one I made – it’s really meant to be a lug vice, but it’s also good for this. I made it out of an old quill stem.
Nice frame well worth the effort to repair. Toyo-made and no longer available.
