I really wouldn't feel safe on that. Cold-setting a frame is safe with steel is ok if you're moving the spacing 5mm or so. Trying to fix a crashed frame which has clearly kinked is not safe.
Dolan frames are like what £90 or something cheap. Just see that £90 an investment in your own safety. You'll probably get a mob with burning pitch-forks after you when I say this but bin the frame, sell the campag headset and forks making a profit, buy a undamaged frame with the money. Safe frame > higher quality parts

Thanks for that. Had a feeling it might be a bit of a long shot. Will take it apart and flog the bits that work and buy something which does work

Seeing as you've already got forks and a decent headset, why don't you just get a Pre Cursa frame? It's only £99 if you get it without forks and the headset.

Ahh forgot about older Dolans being 1". Couple of weeks earlier and I'd have snapped them right off you!
So i just built up a lovely vitus over the last couple of months and gave the old run around to my gf. This has left me without something I can just bomb around town on saw this on ebay and paid about 30 for it I thought carbon farms campag headset are probably worth that alone .
The catch is...all the tubes don't quite point in the right direction.
.
I was just going to stand on it,...good idea.?..
