I always thought that a frame is a frame and a fork is a fork and a frameset is a frame and fork. Am I wrong?
Pretty good question? What does make up a frame set? What makes up a fork set? Is a frame set both?

I suggested that the frame set (tubes, lugs, drops, braze-ons) is pooched. I said that because of this...


And, that horrible rust decay is repeated on the top tube, obliterating one of the brake cable guide braze-on all together.

The fork set (crown, drops, blades and steering stem) is just fine, although I have not measured it for straight yet.

So, in my vernacular, the frame set is pooched and the fork set is OK.
