I bent the fork on my old Colnago.
Should I replace it with another Colnago fork, or will an aftermarket chrome fork do just as well? Is there a difference in quality, or is it just brand name?

Go with a spork. It's the best of both.
A Colnago fork should dampen road vibration better than a no-name one, because of its thinner walls. In any case, you could just buy whatever other fork as long as it's made with decent tubing. Just don't let retrogrouches notice it.

That bike looks really nice, but that golden chain makes me puke.

it's not mine. mine has a reg chain and seat, brake hoods and cables are all white. not a richfag by the way. I built the whole shit myself, that's why the bent fork really fucks me in the ass.
A good aftermarket fork will be more than acceptable. Note that getting a very different geometry fork will affect your handling.
Short wheelbase > more responsive, twitchy,
Long wheelbase > more stable, slower to react,
When in doubt, just match, or get close to the original.

"hold up le spork"
PINGUIN OF DOOOOOOM!!!
Lol me being random again XD
Toodles!
Just match the geometry. As long as it's not a cheap sunlite/pyramid/dimension shit, it's good enough. Anywhere from $90-$500 steel fork pretty much rides the same.
