I donno, those funny angle shots always screw me up. I would give it 50/50 being bent.
Plus the tiny picture. How does that help.

That first picture makes it look like the front wheel is about hitting the down tube. The 2nd picture the fork looks OK.

How come these sellers don't realize their photos suck?

hmmm....

92 Paramount black steel 40"x22" . wheel radius is 25". . $425.00 OBO...... shimmanno brakes & gears, low impact sprocket for quick & effortless shifting.Low weight titatanium seat . great bike one of the last originals!
good thing you passed... those second generation Waterford Paramounts do not really worth that much (esp with 50 inch wheels)

If the seller needs the money, this bike will be for sale for a while. Someone might eventually get a good deal on it.

I don't know about the fork, but the seller is a marketing genius! Did you see those photos?!
