Well, here it is, and it's, as I thought, a bit crappy. The frame definitely seems like 70's gaspipe. Look at the lugs - looks like a low end Falcon. Rear wheel is steel, but the front is aluminium, and I'm liking the butterfly nuts a lot. Brooks looks quite good, but the stem isn't a GB, it's a copy, and it's tatty. Brakes likewise look like GB Coureur, but aren't marked as such. Pedals are all right, RD is a Campy that looks like my Velox, but seems to say "Extra". Shift lever is good, cranks are crappy. Well worth my tenner, but not a great bike.
