Might just be the angle of the photo - but the forks look fubar'ed, like they've been in a serious front end collision.

I think the front wheel is turned slightly towards camera which makes it look like the front end is pushed, but looking at the frame there seems no obvious signs of damage.......

Nothing to do with the angle of the camera. The forks are bent right where the inner fork legs enter the yoke. look at the yoke and at the tube right below it. Those angles simply don't match.
Also, the front wheel looks like it's too close to the pedals.

I'm pretty sure that this bike has hit something rather hard. The bottom part of the fork may be intact, but if I'm right the inner tubes will need to be replaced.

well according to the seller...

The forks are fine as far as I am awaren the bike is a well used one and does need a service I rode it last week and it went ok.

though i do note he's not put that answer up so is most likely aware of something being up.

The forks don't look quite right do they

195 for something needing at least new forks if not more!

buyer is happy though!
