Ok so here's my dilemma, I bought this cheap Gazelle Cross Trophy frame on an impulse without fully reading the add. Turns out it had a front end shunt at some point, as you can see from the picture the tyre is almost touching the downtube and there is a small crease in it. My idea for this project was a cheap SSCX racer, built mainly from the parts bin. My question is, if I were to buy different forks with greater clearance would this work ok? Or do you think the geometry be too far gone to be a rideable?
