Thanks for the offer. The other thread plus Sutherland's makes it clear I have a problem. Someone in the
other thread mentioned that his headtube seemed to be a standard size. I could replace the fork, but
I don't think I will have much luck with the 30.8 headtube size.

EDIT: Actually the headtube is 30mm so I might get away with just replacing the fork.
Sutherland's says the the pro models go with the Campy/Italian standard. That hasn't worked out so
far.
