Here you are - my unbent one and a side by side- although it has been over exactly the same as yours, I am surprised that would of bent it so much

Yeah so am I. I hung on with all my effort when it was past the point of no return in order to minimise the damage.

First time it's been down in 12 years of ownership :rolleyes

You're brake lever looks a different part to mine when you compare the two? (not just the bend, the casting)
[/quote]Yes I noticed that too, mine is defiantly OEM. I see yours is an 02-03 bike. Mine is one of the first 98s so maybe they used all the good stuff in the parts bins on the first bikes and ran out by the time it came to yours so they got the local nursery school kids to make some out of play dough  :lol
