I had a crash on a bike. My frame suffered a small buckle in the top tube,
thats not good at all.. is this being repaired.. ? they will crack there with more flexing at that bulge..
a reputable frame builder said replacing the fork would be fine.
The only problem is the fork I have was a custom made 1 off for a 69CM monster bike...
sounds like its suitable to convert to a threadless headset and stem and cut the fork down after the ideal height is determined.
