The best candidates are 1961/62 Gran Sport or Sprite. While I’ve never seen a Sprite up close, those two bikes look to be nearly the same. If it’s later 1960s than that, it could only be a Record. I doubt very much that it’s a Record, I believe those had different lugs and I don’t think they came in Gold. I think Gran Sport is correct though, the frame features and crankset look much like the one sitting on my porch. Fork is a replacement, which I’m sure you know already.
