Yes that was one of the things I liked about this bike. It has a fully chromed fork with crown and ends revealed. Interestingly enough the entire read triangle is also chromed but the reveal is only done on the face of the dropouts. The rear triangle has a bunch of nicks and scrapes and you can see chrome under all of them. The bike is very elegant in my mind. That is what Bianchi always kind of was to me - elegant. If it was in the budget I would probably put a stitched on bar cover and leather covered toe clips to complete the look. But I am trying to keep the bike on a tight budget as I may have to sell it next spring. The herd is getting very large and I just bought another Ciocc so something might have to go. This bike is just a touch small for me.
