Thanks guys,
I guess I will have to take it to a bike shop. I do my own maintenance and general upkeep but this sounds like a job for a pro.
I don't understand why it rode fine for a couple of rides and all of a sudden this problem. If I bent the steerer would it not have been messed up from the start? Sure hope I didn't Jack up a hand assembled fillet braised frame! I'll never be lucky enough to get one again!
Cheers
