With out pictures its hard to say what your best solution will be. If its just the rear cage then straighten or replace the tubing. If the torsion assembly is bent you will have more problems then you care to deal with. To really get it straight it would require a frame shop. It would probably require dissasembly to determined whats bent and be able to put it in a frame jig to get it right. If your getting it for a really good price then consider buying a new or used frame and swap the parts.

Is it a good frame? (Not some home-made-waterpipe-of-crap) Pictures are worth a thousand...

I was riding with a guy once and he made THE dummest mistake I have ever seen. I mean you can't imagine how stupid this guy was. Real moron. Anyway he hit me and bent his frame pretty bad. Hit me REAL hard. He put his on a frame machine at a body shop and fixed it.
