I have a very nice red Bianchi that was given to me because it had hit a stopped car. There is a slight bend in the toptube and in the downtube at the headtube.

I put wheels on the bike and tried riding it in a parking lot. Interestingly enough it's very easy to ride the bike with no hands on the handlebar and the rear wheel tracks the front wheel perfectly. I determined that by riding through some standing water and then looking at the tire track after.

I liked the ride and feel of that bike so much that I've restored it with Suntour Cyclone components.
