I would still go see it if your close, to see if it is actually bent. If the price is low enough you could get a tange replacement fork like the one on my bike:

Also, its $110 up from $95. Seller said there was a lot of interest and a greater offer, and asked if I'd match.

Plus I still have a Trek 1200 sitting around in my shop fully rebuilt, waiting for me to feel the mood to sell it. Campy Ypsilon aero clincher rims laced to Mavic 501 cartridge bearing hubs

Oo. Nice. I've admired those forks. I do think its bent though. And I'd just be picking it up to rebuild for sale. At $110 with a straight fork its a deal. Bent fork is a bit less appealing, and its a 50 minute drive.

Why do you want to sell that 1200? It looks awesome, and as far as I can tell it looks around the same size as the one with the potentially bent fork.
