Hi, Kim.

Is there a serial # on the fork? Does it match the frame? If not, then perhaps this is an Olmo fork mated to a Faggin (or some other "F" frame). The fork does look like an Olmo, but the F BB cutout has me stumped. Also, I'd wonder if the under BB cable guides were a later addition. Perhaps no bearing on the identity, but if someone was willing to monkey around with the BB, perhaps they also would swap forks. Any sign of a front end crash on the top or down tube junctions with the head tube? If there are any wrinkles, then perhaps there was a crash that ruined the fork, requiring the switch. Sorry I've nothing more definite.

I'm trying to figure out what maker this is. Star in fork, "F" in bb and in seat lug. Any suggestions?
