Today I finished up the install of a new fork and headset.
The stock Bianchi fork was 28mm offset/78mm trail. This fork has a more reasonable 41mm offset/63mm trail and the bike seems to have much quicker steering based on a short ride around the cul de sac this evening. Daylight tomorrow will tell the full story.
It was my first headset install - took my time, measured twice and cut once and everything went really well. It's almost a shame to hide such a pretty fork behind a brake.
