Mine is an "81 GS assembled in Japan. The Lug work, paint and chrome is some of the best I've seen among the Ralieghs. Can't speak about the components cuz i built it up from an original frame, fork, stem and bars. I did use Campy GS brakes and headset. As for the ride: it's stiff and quick, I use it mostly for short fast rides, under 20 miles. It's not something I'd like to do a Century ride on.
