Re: Re:

I don’t think those forks are original

I was confused by OP saying wheels were 700c. The fashion was to have a small front wheel - 24" IIRC - to increase aerodynamics.

And to compromise the handling and ensure that you had to carry 2 spare tubs of different sizes. Thankfully I was tall enough not to need a small wheel to get low.

Loved mine & did all my PB’s on mine

Hi. Thank you love your Bates bike. Great to look at it. The fork on my Italian bike is not original. Most of the bikes does have small front wheel. Did find Bianchi very close to match. But the seatpost braze on lug does not fit. Basso Viper road bike is the best i can search. Do more research daily . I Many thanks izak
