I ended up fixing a bunch of problems on my competition just because I like how the frame rides. The biggest glaring issues were messy brazing (fixed with some filing), misaligned dropouts (mostly fixed now, the rear ones are still a bit wonky), and a seat stay cap missing sufficient braze to stay on the bike (not a structural issue, brazed back into place).

To me it seems like an issue with their quality control person. The sloppy brazing and finishing work is a problem that could have been easily avoided. The inconsistency with what decals were present intrigued me as mine was missing the chain stay and top tube decals with no sign of them ever being applied in the first place.

Their main redeeming qualities to me are the more relaxed geometry of early 70's models and the bronze green paint jobs on the international and super course.

Really the only reason I picked up mine at all was because I needed a British bike in my collection, it was double butted 531, and it was cheap.
