I’ve been looking for a frame to build up a randonneuse, and fall and behold, found an early 70s Raleigh Competition at my local co-op.

But it’s fairly rusty and shows some evidence that it was built under the influence of a few pints. To wit: there fork tube wasn’t properly brazed to the crown, and there’s a hole in what seems like an important structural area!

Is this something that would be hard/expensive for a frame builder to fix? Or should I not worry about it at all? If I get the frame, I’ll need to modify the Huret derailleur hanger anyway, so it could be a two birds one stone deal--along with adding some bottle braze-ons, too.
