    Quite easy to check if the seller co-operates.
    Put a good fork in the headtube and measure the distance BB- front HB c-t-c.
    Compare this with the Kirk geometry that you've looked up on the internet : http://www.kirk-bicycles.co.uk/Kirk-Facts.htm
    A bit of work, but it gives you some kind of security (at least if the frame is bent or not). Of course, the fork rake has to be the same as Kirk's original.
