re bending fork / compromised frame

Hello all,

I have an '84 Trek 760, with reynolds 531c tubing. I built the bike up a little while ago and noticed the front wheel was very close to the down tube. I was so excited about the build I basically ignored it. After visiting a frame builder, I now know that the bike was in some sort of accident. The fork is obviously bent back some and the frame builder pointed out some slight bulges in the top tube and down tube right at the lugs and head tube. I was told that I could just have the fork straightened and be able to ride it.

Is the bike compromised and less safe?

Thanks, once agian in advance for all the great advice,

Chalol
