Thanks Mr. Data for another useful link.
After a close encounter at low speed with the the side of a cage that cut me up at a junction, I'd like to check, and, if necessary straighten up the front wheel on my Sporty 1200C.Is it dooable (I have done the operation to bicycles in the past) or should I leave it to a specialist?

I thing it's doable if you take your time and "tune" the spokes the proper way. If you aren't sure of the outcome, take it to a professional to check it over.
