Bent fork?

Well, what do you think? It looks bent to me, and there appears to be a line just behind the head lug on the downtube that has chipped paint (and there feels like a slight bulge in the bottom of the tube), but it rides straight and the wheel is straight in the frame(I threw on a set of 26X1-3/8 instead of the original 27's). there's no obvious metal cracking either. As a beater bike to ride 14-30 miles per day, think it'll be OK?
