Loz, i'd think about getting the frame checked out as well. Those upside down forks are so stiff thats its often the frame that bends instead of the fork so an impact bad enought to bend the fork might just have damaged the frame as well.

I suspect you're right about being a good idea to check the frame.

Any recommended "frame-checkers" in the South?

Blimey - the bill's getting bigger!!! Tough break fella.

But there's something else to consider;

With an impact like that where the forks get bent and the frame may need checking, don't forget to check your wallet - this will almost certainly take a beating that's beyond any damage the bike might have had!!!

There's the initial thinning of the wallet due to the removal of the internal paper and some of the plastic in there may also take a bit of a hammering!!!

You might need to find a specialist outfit who can provide new, clear plastic - perhaps try;

- Egg
- American Express
- Barclaycard
- Mint
