[QUOTE=dddd;17034317]This early-1960's Bianchi frame apparently was given some framebuilder's blessing after a severe front-ender.

The builder had to straighten/replace the top tube, down tube and head tube, after which the lower head lug was extensively reinforced with "extended" lower lug along the bottom (visible above cable hsg).
The owner then had the bike painted, and mounted the shifters to cover the head tube buckling:

Those were the days when things were actually repaired. I have several things that would have been simply replaced instead of fixed, including some alloy brake levers that were welded, as well as some Ashtabula cranks that have been repaired, and a BF Goodrich frame that looks like it was fixed by someone who used plumbing lead on the downtube.
