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.
I had a new 1980 Bob Jackson frame that came with the BB so distorted it couldn't be retapped. I contacted the factory and they sent me a terse letter about how their BB shells are of the highest quality and insisted the postal service or my LBS had damaged it. We used a torch and a tail pipe expander to get it round enough to retap and install a Phil Bottom bracket on. After that experince I made my own frames.
