I was looking for a frame in 2009 to replace my damaged Le Champ. Found a very nice Celeste Bianchi and was about to buy it until I noticed a dent near the crown on one of the fork legs. There was another on the other leg but in the front. Don't use fork legs as part of the force network.
See Post #7. The dents in the Bianchi fork legs matched the 2" dimension of a 2x4.
