My son's Montagner is built from Oria and has a nice road feel, if a little on the heavy side.

Hi, thanks for pointing out the error. I've now corrected the link.

This is the frame I'm wondering about:

From what I can tell, nothing wrong with the Oria tubing, but this frame has a lot less detail on it than the "Prestige" and "Super Prestige" models that I'm familiar with from the 80's.
