Headset cups look to be parallel also. With some careful measuring and aligning with some steel rules and straight edges I reckon I have between 0.3 and 0.5 of a degree out of parallel.
There's no obvious signs of damage to the cups. I guess i'll only know for sure when I get some new forks and see if I can feel any indexing or tightening on the steering.
It's not like that is the type of bike will be going down hills and corners at 40 mph either.
