I'll post a pic of the fork/wheel bobotech, but yeah I am absolutely going to salvage the parts and either use them to build a new one or just donate them to bike pirates co op for somebody else to use.
I wouldn't be surprised if the fork turned out to be unscathed. Often when a frame buckles like that it absorbs all the impact energy. Kinda like the crumple zone they build into cars these days.
