Bent Bianchi?

Is it me, or does the front end look like it's hit something hard?

Forks look steep, and the downtube looks bent. Or is it just my dodgy mincers?

Doesn't look straight to me either and those lugs etc make it resemble a bed frame or gas pipe special

Horrid.
Bianchi is the Raleigh of Italy; plenty of gaspipe nasties produced by them too!

Re:

In the first photo it certainly looks like the downtube is bent slightly where the shifters attach, and the top tube slightly where the first cable stop is, the rake on the forks looks reduced too.
A later photo isn't as clear, but it makes me think it's had a hard impact at the front at some point.
Either that or it's a weird optical illusion....
