The short story is i gave this bike to a kid i had in school (its really a prison) and in his words "I must have hit something"

Sure he wasn't JRA?

I bent my old Trek 400 HT back into place after a front-end encounter with the passenger door of a pick-up that pulled out in front of me. The paint crinkled and it eventually started to rust. Years later while out on a ride the DT cracked about 50% or the way around just below the DT shifter bosses. I rode home very carefully and by the time I got to my apartment I only had a sliver left holding the two parts of the DT together. (I had replaced the steel fork a while before that because the crinkled paint and rust at the crown was really getting scary.)

That is a cool looking "jack-screw" apparatus

Looks like it worked

I broke a frame in Boulder, and someone in your shop made me a bottle opener out of the chain stay / RD hanger section. I still have it and it still works!
