That's the thing, a back frame bent even just by 3 degrees becomes unsalvageable, and if you're riding a bike such that you're not testing the frame to some degree then I'd argue that you're not riding at all :-P
Steel is real.
I have two bent steel frames from beautiful French bikes that I had to sadly say bye bye to
Every Dutch person in this thread: what the fuck is testing your frame?
going off the road, popping wheelies, carrying heavy parts, cornering at extreme angles with a heavy load, that kind of thing
Bent in which way?
Rear triangle on a steel bike can be straightened out if you are careful.
Front triangle shouldn't have issues unless it's bad from the start. (that requires a table and skill)
Only bike I have straightened was a steel huffy (not worth working on)
It had a head tube that was twisted so wasn't fixable... Rear was easy enough to align though.
Front triangle I just swap out the stem, but back triangle there's nothing I can do to fix that without weakening the frame even more
