i've had some pretty bad crashes and unless they were hit by a car chances are it's a simple (maybe expensive) fix. such as replacing fork or wheel or getting the existing wheel trued. also it's easy to check if the frame is bent. just do a test ride and see how easy it is to keep your balance sitting up with your hands off the handle bars.
