That reminds me - TSD put braze-on FD mounts on the SLX frames - did Gooch do this for the completed bikes that did not go through TSD? Who knows?

I would contend that for a given model year something central to the frame, like the cutout on a head tube lug, would not vary by importer. I'm guessing too the fork crown for that year would also be consistent. But if I could find Guerciotti catalogs from '82 & '83, TSD or not, it would help to prove or disprove that. From what I read on the CR list, the frames came to TSD with primer already on them; that TSD's responsibilities centered around checking the frames' alignment and painting them.
