Sounds like he ran it into something and fairly hard if he damaged the tripple trees as well. Look at the neck real well make sure he didnt actually damage the frame. I bought an old bike once with plans of restoring it and found out the hard way most of the way through the restoration that it had a slight tweak in the frame. Not visibly noticable but extremely noticable while riding. Ended up picking up another frame on ebay and starting the process over again
