use a sliding bevel, then transfer angle to paper and check what it is using protractor. Or u can buy a fancy angleometer (not its real name) Dr Adrian may be able to offer some advice on where these are available.

This is the best and quickest way to explain it. Just do what they do in this Supergoose test. I can email it to you if it's not big enough.
Eventually I am going to do all my bikes with this layout. I will photograph it and do what they have done on this.
