T-Mar has explained a lot of the details. Surprising the seat tube is also steel as well as the fork. Mine was given to me by a good friend who acquired the bike new as the owner of the CTC store. It had been damaged due to incorrect assembly (stem was gouged). It has a different feel than any other bike I've ridden. Other than the saddle and mudguards and rack it is the way it was in the showroom. There is a separate thread from a few years back.
