From: San Francisco - it used to be nice

Bikes: 1970 Alex Singer, 63 Hetchins, 75 Motobecane Townie, more . . .

It IS fixable, but the details and trouble all add up to making a new fork a much less expensive and practical choice.

What with the unplating - polishing - replating - crown race machining - rebrazing, aligning, etc. you could be looking at spending $800 to save a $250 fork.

Why not try and contact Battaglin in Italy if they are still in business ? The frame and fork was probably subcontracted to Billato or a similiar contract builder.
