Sprint With Chrome Fork ?

-

I live for the CABE
I have been looking for images of the Sprint with chrome fork . Starting to think this may not be an all original bike. Any ideas ?

See the paint loss on the tops of both the top tube and the down tube right behind where they intersect the head tube?
I'm thinking that this bike took a front end impact that ruined the front fork and bent the frame tubes.
The frame was probably straightened but the fork was replaced with this chrome one.
 
I could just be me but it looks like the top tube has a little tweak to it at the head tube lugs. Front end collision? Hence then typical Schwinn replacement fork you see.
 
Now that you point it out I can see it . I thought it looked a little funky ,fork seemed steep to me too. Thanks for the input.
 
the low-trail fork is still going to make that "modified" geometry ride-able. It's going to steer a little faster than before. As long as there are no cracks, it will probably keep riding.
