Pista Concept Fork Drilling?
Has anyone had the stock carbon fork on their Bianchi Pista Concept drilled out in order to fit a brake?
The back of the aluminum fork crown has a notch in it that appears to be made for a brake bolt. I'm guessing that they use the same forging for their integrated fork crowns, but just leave them undrilled for the track.
I spoke with a local frame builder, Chris Kvale, regarding this matter. He seemed to think that it was possible. I just wanted to know if anybody has succeeded in doing this before I authorize the potential destruction of my fork.

if you look from the bottom of my fork you can see a bolt in there. it looks like the just sealed one in the hole on mine kinda weird. I wonder if you tried the turn it if it would unthread through a hole under the thick plactic coating. just a thought
