Unbend piece of steel
I have a very old bike.
The only problem is that the head has been bent by a shock.
I'm wondering what would be the least suicidal approach to try to straighten it back without breaking it.
Should I just try to hit it with a sledge hammer or should I try a slow solution like stick it into some corner and bend it, should I heat it up,...
Thanks

I think you should be able to find a Welder or a Blacksmith who can heat the handlebar up and bend it to where the two sides are even.
Maybe that Bike dates back to a time when people had arms of different lengths and they had to make bicycles to fit their asymmetric bodies ?
