The VAR #13 adjustable pin spanner, which can have the
pins turned in 90 degrees for applications like
Bianchi style headsets, is still available. Your LBS
can order it from United Bicycle Tool Co., the retail
price will be approaching $70. It's a well made,
lifetime tool like many VAR items. Replacement pins
are also available. These things were most certainly
in production at the same time as Bianchis with
integrated headsets that needed them.
