Twisted subframe
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey everyone, after buying my first bike and knowing the seat looked kinda of twisted and after repairing the tail now I know it is twisted. Can the subframe be straightened like straightening the frame of a car or some how? Should I just go ahead and buy a new subframe or just ride and enjoy my first bike.

If you're noticing things like parts of the frame are twisted.... I'd take it in to a shop and have them look it over.

subframe isn't usually the end of the world because it's just cosmetic... it's the frame itself you have to worry about... Take it to a shop and get it checked... you can usually tell by taking the body work off and using a couple of equal length strings between points to verify that it is straight... but I'd have a shop check it just to be safe... As far as replacements go, you can buy aftermarket racing rear subframes for much cheaper than the factory components, depending on what you want to do with the bike.
