is your bottom bracket italian thread ? if so it should be 70mm wide
the code on the axle says: (68)=BSA-(p)=pista-(120)rear spaceing
if i am guessing right you might run a campa bsa pista axle in italian BB shells, this could be the cause of the missing 2mm on your crank-frame clearence.
the axle code for italian thread shoud say "70-p-120"
just a guess, it might be wrong as well
Hmm, sounds like a plausible explanation. Will look into that!
I've been lacking the Benotto project ever since the birth of our baby boy. Was able to paste a nice Campagnolo decal on the pram though :) -
Hey Kal, so nice to see this thread! I hope you'll be able to fix the fork somehow.
Still believe in the 2A / 67 combo :-) But that 144BCD crankset is so much nicer than the 151BCD.. it is starting to itch again :)Does your Benotto has stamps in the BB?
Looking forward to the next steps!

My Benotto also has quite some clearance on the front.. somewhere around 1cm depending on the tires used. And it's an original frameset with track forks. So maybe there is a grey area between ultra small clearance and road clearance.. ?
But it sucks, i know.. clearances should be reduced to a minimum ;)

Thanks, yours also has a polished upper part? Mine also doesn't have the limit mark, so that is why i'm in doubt about the originality of the post. the edge of the bottom is very nice beveled and looks 'original' somehow.

I'm not sure this Campagnolo SR seatpost (120mm) has its original length.. although there are some 'Short Editions' around on the bay and some other shops, i don't find any info on velobase etc on 'short edition' seat posts. Anybody?

This needs more pictures.
Will do!! After installing all the last bits :) Toe clips, different chain, straighten the wheels and glue the tires.
oh and Ps...I'm not trying to be a pain and you look very capable, tho if you want someone to cut the forks.,..I've done so so many and can cut perfect right angles with a hacksaw. It's just an offer, and I'm drooling over this bike...really...I'll leave it at that...;D.
Not sure what u mean by 'cutting the forks with a hacksaw', maybe it's my complete lack of sense in how to treat the forks of vintage track bike.. but my gut tells me to leave them as they were made :) I can live with the huge clearance on the front wheel.
Thanks for the offer though and your kind words about the bike :) A shame you had to sell yours.

That saddle, is that a Fujita Seamless?
The saddle is a pre-cinelli Unicanitor mod. 50.
Selling them?
Those tubes are very cheap Vittoria Rally's, with one of the two being punctured. You are probably better off buying them new :)

Almost done, still searching for NOS black anodized Ale toeclips and need new tires.
I like the tanwalls, but going for the tough guy all blacks look.
Second dibs!
