SCHOR Frame
Hi Friends,
This time I will be asking your opinion about this frame.
Seller says it is Swiss made SCHOR from the 70's - can you please share your thoughts with me.
Thank you in advance.

I don't know that brand, but it looks mid level. It looks better than the others you have posted.

Nice looking frame. A clue to quality would be the dropouts. What is stamped into them? Campagnolo, Tange, something else?

At first thought it mid to late 1970's due to the braze-ons.
Then noticed it looks to be a respray.
Possible it could be a bit earlier and braze-ons added prior to painting.
When a frame has received a respray it is always wise to examine it carefully for any sign of repair or damage.
Resprays are not necessarily a "red flag."
There is an enthusiast site here covering Swiss produced marques; unfortunately Schor is not included.

There is an Austrian Schor associated with motorcycles. Possibly a connection... -

Not a bad looking frame. Probably from the late 70's, early 80's.
Above bottom bracket cable routing is more of a 70's design.
Downtube water bottle bosses came in in the mid 70's.
By the 80's, under bottom bracket cable routing became more prevalent, as well as seat tube water bottle bosses.
Flat fork crowns is also more 70's, and sloping crowns 80's.
I agree, check bottom bracket threading.
IRD still makes Swiss bottom bracket cups, but you could end up spending twice as much for small parts as you might with English or Italian threading.
Building a bare frame can be fulfilling, but it is easy to over-spend on parts.
$80 is an OK ballpark price for that frame.

Once a bike has been repainted, never trust the decals. So it could be a totally different brand than you think. Also, stickers are really meaningless. A metal badge is more reassuring as to branding.

With a single headtube sticker, a person could have put on anything they thought was entertaining.

Ask for photos of the frame prior to the re-spray.
