The TX900 framesets do look as-if they have a bent fork, but the rake on the TX900 is steeper than the touring models to quicken the steering.
I'm in Chicago and had to buy a TX900 from an owner in Portland OR. Finding a local frame is far cheaper than buying on eBay once the risk of buying without an inspection is considered.
I would haggle with the seller, the trade might be the best angle.
