Claud needs help
I bought an 80's Claud Butler frame off ebay last year and hadn't touched it up until now. I can't seem to fit a standard 1" quill stem in it, the steerer tube seems to be blocking it somehow/it's looks like it's fouling the head tube a bit. I've had a look at the fork dropouts and they seem a little on the skew, although it's not too serious.
Also, my Campag tools don't seem to fit the headset(too big).
Somebody help, kinda lost for what to do/what's wrong.

Bikes been in an accident.
Tube is bent.
Forks are torqued.
Frame may also be bent.
Take it to a shop and have them check it out.
Enjoy

You inspect it upon receipt and return it if it is bent or damaged.
Chicks dig me because I have a fine grasp of the obvious.
