Reinforcements on the fork blades; extra work, probably wouldn't bother if its a lesser frame.

Braze-ons certainly added. First common braze-ons to Italian frames just prior to the mid-70s were the bottom bracket cables guides, without those, doubtful there would be any at all.

Yeah, could be nothing but certainly worth the 119. to me.
cool - thank you for the explanation - you did school me on that pretty well - i'm still learning my way around this stuff - hey - enjoy the build up
