cinelli vigorelli drilled fork
Thinking about picking up a Vigorelli but I want a front brake. Can the fork be drilled? About how much money am I looking to have this professionally (LBS) done?
Also what are your thoughts on integrated headsets?

^^^@ norskagent, Im pretty sure the shape of the fork disallows the use of either the oval or circular Keirin clamp on.
I was looking at getting a Vigorelli, so Ill throw in my 2 cents.
I wanted an older one as I like the paint scheme better, but they dont come with a drilled fork. However, the newer models do, so I was thinking to get an older frame and swaping in a newer model fork. I think this would be the ideal way to handle this, as I was a sketchy on drilling a carbon fork.

The fork can come factory drilled[As you can see the hole in the pic below is painted too] (I think its an ordering option tho; with it being left undrilled standard; if I remember correctly when I bought my 09 vigorelli in 08); in fact I have a chorus installed on mine. I would take a pic but I have no camera ATM; so here's proof anyways:
The 2010 most likely should still have the drilled fork option as it was only the paint scheme that Cinelli changed.
A LBS should be able to do it for you for around $15 - $20ish if you got the undrilled fork....

Well on to headsets; they're all good..... as I've never been too anal about the headsets on my bikes as the difference in performance can't really or not at all be noticed to the non - professional racer. BUT threaded headsets although they have nice retro look they are an arse to install as you have to thread and then cut and all that...
