As for the brazing, I’ve read several comments about that. I have no issue with the f/f quality. I’ve viewed the Swedes of that time frame as quite pragmatic. The bike offers a great ride which I very much enjoy and the brazing is suitable for purpose. Strong, responsive and, probably, as sound as it was almost 50 years ago when it left Varberg. I’m happy and lucky to own it.
No issues. I don't see any suspect brazing on my bike.

I like the original paint and components and will attempt to find the missing bits to make it whole.
