I picked up a decent 2x4 and some additional hardware so I can straighten out this frame over the weekend.
I also ran by storage earlier today to pick up a frame to practice this frame-adjusting technique on before I try it on Stirrup. I got this 24" AMF step-thru for free last year, and it just became a parts donor for some other AMF bikes I'm working on. It's down to just the bare frame now, and it's not one I plan to rebuild anytime soon, if ever.
I also grabbed two 24" rear wheels, one with a coaster brake, and one with a cassette, so I can practice adjusting the stays, not just for alignment and straightening, but also to expand or narrow the space for either kind of wheel. Hopefully I'll be able to try this technique out tomorrow morning.
