Hello Group, I have acquired a lovely unidentified 1930's/40's racing bike with spearpoint headlugs (similar to, but not identical, to those of a Gloria). It has been repainted a very long time ago, and has beautiful hand pinstriping and transfers, which I want to save. Unfortunately, the rear seatstays have been squashed (perhaps by a slipping rear carrier?). Can anyone recommend a frame builder/repairer in the northern Illinois/Iowa/Southern Wisconsin area who might be able to repair the seatstays (hopefully without losing the pain on the main tubes)? Thanks!
