I know he didn't because I exchanged something like 5 emails with him as I was skeptical of his dating, but it turns out I think he was pretty close to the mark. He messaged me a few weeks ago asking if I knew where he could get a suitable fork or it to make it more original. I told him to contact Marinoni to see if they had old forks kicking around but that I thought it was unlikely and his best bet would be to have one custom made but that it would cost to much. I thought it was odd because I remembered watching the bike and seeing it sell.
Yes, I do remember it, because like you said, it it is the only 62cm M. track we've seen - aside from yours of course! I was going to bid on it, but pulled out at the last minute. By the sound of what happened with the auction, I'm glad I didn't.
