There’s the string around the headtube, back to the dropouts thing but that’s more for alignment along the line of the bike, your damage is more likely to be headtube angle change. You could lay a straight edge along the tubes and see how flat it lies but, and it’s a fairly big but, you’d want to know how flat it lay before the crash because tubes can have a curve before they are even built into a frame.

Youch. I know that feeling. Had a stick jam in the front mudguard, resulting in 8 stitches on my chin. Heal up soon.

Something got jammed in my wheel and flipped me over the bars. Rack and fork are definitely bent.
I think the frame is ok but can anyone advise on how I can check things in more detail. I can’t see any ripples on the dt or tt and there are no cracks. I’ll also try and check the frame alignment with a ruler and string.
I’m currently in Guatemala and decent shops are few and far between. Sourcing a replacement fork is going to be much easier than a whole frame set.
