You could just as well make it with 100K resistors and use a 10K- 50K 
pot for your DC offset.  Run the pot between +/-15v (is that what you 
have for supplies?), run a 300K resistor from the pot wiper to the - 
input, a 100K for the feedback resistor, and a 100K from your LFO into 
the - input. Then you can adjust the offset of the output traingle 
continuously between (0 to +5v) and (0 to -5v).
