I own one of these in visual vintage- 1972.
transfers, chrome, separation stripes all match.
Sold it off in 1975, repurchased in 1983.
was that good.

As this came to you used, I also suggest starting from scratch regarding alignment.

Frank should have the necessary measurement tools. My thought is 1mm at the seat tube extends to 1.5-1.6mm off at the axle.
might need to be partially torn down to check twist between the head tube and seat tube or BB axle.

fork too can be a culprit.

I have a later and earlier bike in addition. My approx ‘74 is less of a favorite, slightly steeper in the head angle. Thinking, I have four total!
different sizes slightly.

Visually, I think these are great graphic representations of a 70’s race bike.
