Please do not confuse the sloppiness (or lack of) of the frames brazing with the quality of the
build or the ride of a frame.
Many of the old bikes we covet were sloppy indeed.
Remember that first and foremost a racing frame, be it built by Faliero, Sante, Ernesto or Ugo (among others) was a tool for the racer, built to ride well and win races, period.
Whether a frame had it's lugs thinned, immaculately filed or not has nothing to do with the actual
ride qualities.
The American and UK builders were the ones that pushed thinned lugs and impeccable filing to the
forefront of the builders art.
