The discussion seems to have pretty well covered the frame.

I would give the fork steerer a good look over, maybe a check the fork in a fixture and a have a magnaflux job done by a machine shop. It may be the angle of the picture, but the fork crown seems to not be parallel to the headset cup.

Fork failures can be particularly nasty.
