What's the opinion of the room on this one? The forks look like they've been bent back to me. I've asked the seller a question, and requested photos of the front end of the frame but no response yet.

fork looks fine to me, and there's plenty of clearance between the front tire (excuse me, TYRE) and the downtube. Seller is right, the Brooks alone is worth more than 30 quid, and it's a decent new rack. Buy the bike, try it out, and if it doesn't suit you, put a cheap seat on it, and sell it on for 20 quid, and you'll be ahead
