Sorry for being late to this. Apologies if I am repeating other folk. Back in the day here in the UK a well respected mail order shop did great trade in buying up and selling old stock not far past when it would of originally sold. The top end frames exactly as in that catalogue [catalog]scan with the Neuron/Genius tubing were excellent frames. The rumour, unsubstantiated, was they were subbed out to Cyfac [people say the Fignon era Castorama Raleighs all came via Cyfac].

At the same period this shop had Coppi’s with again top range pipes/chrome lugs/airbrush finishes which were definitely brazed by a top Italian frame shop. As an aside and hope I am correct here, when Boardman went for the Athletes Hour record he was going to get the frame built locally. But Look [he would of been on carbon looks with Gan etc?] insisted they provided it as per his measurements, etc.
