Wow. I'm guessing those don't pop up for sale too often.

Looks like the kind of item a repair shop should have--or better yet, a local ABC Airheads group might have on hand for any member who needs a frame check.
I would like to check one of my frames but I would be clueless what to do to adjust the frame even if it checks out tweaked. Nice to see specialty parts popping up--and that seller claims to have quite a stash of them so he/she might well be worth watching. |

I've been wondering lately if the frames are built symetrically.

Frames aren't usually used if they're bent, although I've seen individuals try to straighten twisted steering heads. The oval thin-walled tubing used doesn't seem to like being re-bent.IMHO, if your frame is suspected of being trash it probably is, and this jig just confirms it...

I never buy from a salesman that yells at me.
