The shop I worked for sold a number of them, they forced the shop to buy a Campagnolo tool kit as the Bottom bracket shells were often distorted, requiring retapping and facing of the shell to get anything other than a Phil Wood bottom bracket to work well. Great paint, not so good build quality, a friend had crashed one and the exposed miters upon tube replacement were not top notch.
That said, quality was variable, some later ones are nice. Sold my '74 about a year after I got it, inflation kept the loss to a minimum, great chrome, its replacement handled so much better.
