Welcome to the Club, Gary! Any negativity from anyone else is just thinly-disguised envy
With the exception of the Masis I've seen, every framebuilder (no matter the country of origin, although some are worse on the whole than others) has it's variations in finish and quality control. C'mon, youse guys - admit it.
In fact, perhaps we should start a thread showing "goofs" from the quality control departments. But how many of you out there would be interested in showing off those file marks on your Cinelli?
(I would).
