    Picked up a pair of 26" wheels for a future project and after tear down and removal of old spokes and hubs, discovered some slight bends that need to be fixed. Mainly like the wheel was dropped and bead is slightly wider now. Maybe make a lever type tool to gently straighten this area? Got...

Plan is to cut off the head tube and rake out the front end for a Bike Designer 1-1/8 threadless chopper triple tree and bare steel 42" fork tubes.
