Thank you, Mr. Brown, and the other kind responders to my question. The original fork did not come with this bike. I will look for one (bianchi reparto corsa lite steel cross bike). In the meantime, I will try adjusting the current stem I am using. I am using a Nasbar converter so I can use my Richy stem and bars off my Redline cross bike. Thank you all again. (you have bailed me out several times in the past, Mr. Brown, and I thank you again!)
