I suppose there is no way, at least by looking, to judge the quality of the ride. Have to just get on it and ride? What to do if there is just a frame and
fork?
When we get into ride quality, that's when we get into whether the forks are straight and whether the frame has damage or bends in it. We also get into frame angles/slackness etc. That's often about geometry and measurement.
