Let's tally some of those items already mentioned - new fork, new crank, new wheels, new brakes, new bars, new tires, new tubes, new cables.

Even if you do all that, you still have a crap bike that has been severely damaged in a front end collision.

Spend a little more time to find a better candidate such that, when you are done, you have a nice bike.



ETA - Sorry, Ijust noticed it is a zombie thread - 13 years old. I wonder how the kid is doing now.
I think the cranks and the brakes are perfectly fine. The handle bars seem to be perfectly fine as well.
