It was a very nice frame.
of those you mentioned, the model inquired here is the Worksop Professional in team livery, certainly the MK V. I’m trying to understand any tube gauge difference, if there was some, between this top end Professional model and those right after in hierarchy like the Competition GS. Documents and catalogs did not provide such tech specs, but I hope somebody here having handled those models in the 70s might remember them.
