When I see damage like that on your Bianchi, I immediately get worried about the rest of the frame set. Were I you, I would take the time to start measuring the frame and forks to see if they, too, are bent.

Measuring a frame and forks is not all that difficult to do but it might save you tons of grief later. You can learn how to do this at MY "TEN SPEEDS", and visit the page of Frame Inspection and Fork Inspection. You might also want to know a bit about Frame and Fork Repair.

Hope this is a help.
