Re: Re:

Some poor brazing around the BB

The head-tube joints don't look too clever either

Nothing wrong there.... Mini fillets that's all....

1991/92 z success, aris groupset, 531 fork blade sticker, the 531c are wrong, was a mix of Reynolds on the frame, so the catalogue says

There are holes in the brazing on the BB. The rest is just a bit lumpy looking!

Dunno about holes but the lumpiness is the fillet not sanded smooth, they left them like that so as to not weaken it apparently

Catalogue scan here explains

Re:

Earlier (?) catalogue says filed and sanded to a smooth finish the other says left as is.

I usually like the undoctored brazed joints on Zinns but maybe in theses earlier frames they hadnt got it nailed yet.

Some killer undoctored brazing on Curtis bikes- http://www.curtisbikes.co.uk/about/

Curtis' brazing is the best in the Business!

Intriguing to see what's going on with this, I wonder if Andy (Featch) can shed any light on the age of it/who Barry is?

Re:

They must be very pleased with that price. Bit too much if you ask me seeing it hasn't got the stem.

I paid less for my complete Z-Classic which has the same frame :?

Re:

Looks like the lacquer is all damaged at the top of the head tube :?
