Used a pair of busted inner tubes to secure fork to frame and frameset to myself as I hung it over my shoulders for the long trek home. This was her state when I got back to the Bat Cave:





And this is her after it was all said and done a few days later. Fantastic and beautiful bike!





Even with that horrendous dent, she still looks straight. I'm glad you were there to save that rare MAX Marinoni. I'm left wondering how the heck it got that way.
