@everybody: thx for the support and comments. I was really thrilled when I got this but unfortunately disheartened seeing the damages, but I'll carry on with the build.
@dron: Haven't inspected the tubing but the seller did say it's Columbus. The fork has Columbus decal, though badly damaged, but it says Columbus. Will weight it when I buy portable scale next week
@hulsroy: Thanks for the articles! I'm not going to fix it myself, a framebuilder will. Originality is of course important so the original track fork is preferred although I'm still open to use road fork as last resort so I can ride the bike.
Sad to see you had to let go your Benotto, why don't find another one ; )
@1000angels: Thanks pal!
No I don't work with the company anymore, been a while since last time I was there, kinda miss it now.
