Your frame *might* be able to be cold-set by a competent frame builder with proper jig. If you headtube is out of alignment, that means that your top and downtube are likely bent/possibly compromised. Take it to a pro.

depending on your frame's headtube being OK, all-city makes a nice straight blade 1 1/8th fork. not super expensive, not exactly cheap....
