Don't forget too that it is possible for a frame to get bent during
shipment! TR6 frames are pretty flimsy and getting dropped of a truck or
"tweaking" them with a forklift is not outside the realm of possibility.

Heck, one of my friends was in a fender-bender with is TR6, they wound up
spending over $2500 at the frame shop to get the thing square again. They
found _all sorts of problems_ once they got it on a rack.

That was a rust-free frame too.
