Olympic 76 frame built by Antoine Polsinelli

And more pictures that I took:

I know that the frame was handbuilt in Toronto. (Fork is not original)
I stripped it from all of its component and I believe most of the original ones were Campagnolo. There are no braze-on, everything was clamped. The dropout are Campy but the right one is bent slightly.
I am planning on cleaning/restoring the whole bike and if anyone can help me with the history of this frame or comment on its quality of construction, that would be much appreciated
Thanks,

I don't know anything about your bike but I can say the frame quality looks decent. I hope you can find a better replacement fork for it. I think we would like to see pictures of the components too. The headset is a record/nuovo record. Your rear drive-side dropout is bent. Some care, old inner tube and and a pair of channel locks or maybe a crescent wrench should be able to correct that.

Lug work looks really nice! I'd tap the dropout with a plastic mallet to bring the dropout back in line, then align with the Campagnolo tools; there's a pair to get the dropouts parallel and square to each other, and one to align the derailler hanger. A good shop should have the tools.
Don't know anything about Canadian bikes though.

Thanks for the tips. I've posted more pictures....

So I'm not sure if the rear derailleur (suntour V) is original (?) but I think the rest of the stuff that I photographed are.
The wheelset was crap and definitly not original so I didn't bother to take pictures of those.
The stem is Cinelli but I think may require a 7mm Allen wrench which is rare and I don't have, so I haven't been able to to remove the stem and the fork yet...
cheers,

Haha Yes very interesting indeed. Also as it turns out that the fork was tange 
And the Cinelli stem has serial #935128 which is consistent with the models built in the late 60s and it did require a 7mm Allen key, which I machined by grinding an 8mm Allen key....
