A faithful restoration that replaces a bent tube probably rides more like the original than an un-repaired bike.

despite the fact that this list is populated with some kof's, a faithful restoration is not always that accessable; the original folk from the CR list timeline have long since forsaken what we call framebuilding and "went" nonferrous years ago. their staffs no longer practice what the half dozen or so here do. i think it's more likely that you'll find a torchbearer that has no clue re the lineage of frames such as the one in question and would as easily add some henry james parts to this repair as he would suggest h.t. cable adjusters.
this is reality...
