Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

From the photo it appears the fork sacrificed itself to save the frame. In fact the fork nicely spread the energy absorption along the length of the blades, and BITD we used to straighten forks with similar damage very successfully.

However, these days there's greater concern for potential liability, and few mechanics will straighten forks other than their own or those of good friends.
