I just happen to know the previous owner (who's now on his way to india by bike, and completely uncontactable, btw). I didnt even know he'd sold it.
At least Im telling the new owner before he rides it, but from what I remember, its perfectly sound, apart from the superficial dent.
Its going to be tricky to find gazelle track forks that size (and I say that as someone who's been looking for a shorter steerer'd set of gazelle round track forks for a while) so I'd be tempted to keep the aheadset/forks, build it and ride it for now, and think about changing the forks if/when you ever find any (which is what I'm doing with my gazelle). The 27's that keep being offered are probably a worse idea than the forks that he has now..
