Bikes: 53cm Mercier Kilo TT Special Limited Edition (Black/Chrome)

Your opinion on a thrashed frame situation...

Here's the deal:

My bike was pretty much ran over by a van a few weeks ago. I had my LBS go over everything with a fine toothed comb, and their bottom line was that the frame was shifted a few millimeters to one side, and the wheelset was roasted, in addition to a slightly bent fork (which was straightened back out): so basically the bike was totaled out. Keep in mind this is a Kilo TT I only had for one month.

And to my question, will this frame track straight? Im not sure how much a few mm will make the bike pull. Is it worth putting a new wheelset on and rocking it as if nothing had happened? Im going crazy having no bike, and I cant order a new kilo because theyre going to be out of stock until WW3.
