Retyred, nice bike, thanks for posting. That said, Matador6, please note the seat stay finish. Your frame has the more highly finished seat stay cap where the seat stay is cut diagonally and a fitted cap brazed in place (similar but different from the subsequent Carre-style willow leaf shaped cap...see early post in this thread) while retyred's frame has the swagged and crimped seat stay finish. As noted above, the swagged and crimped finish is found on more budget conscious bikes at this time as it did not require the handwork of the seat stay finish as found on Matdor6's frame.
