a little Tylenol and some bengay and I am ok.
I can empathize; I've been hit twice so far. Some drivers just
shouldn't be driving.
yes I checked it out today and the front was broken and it was almost cracked
in half. I would have been in the ambulance without it.
A replacement fork for an Italian racing bike will set you back hundreds
unless you can find a used one. And, you'll be lucky if the wheel isn't
sprung. Make sure they check the frame, especially the downtube, for
signs of buckling, and that the rear derailleur dropout is still true.
