Bought a frame recently, 531 badged, Argos refurbished. It's steel and of lugged construction, I thought it looked fairly well made without viewing in person. While stripping down to polish up etc I noticed the tops
of the seat stays look in my opinion, poorly finished. The bit I'm talking about is where the top of the stays are mitered, the "cap" if that's the right word, is much bigger than the top of the stay and has overlap all around it. On other steel frames I've got this part is made exactly to the dimensions of the mitred stay and has no overlap, and finishes flush. The rest of the frame is ok quality wise, is it a particular builders mark or just shoddy?!!
