I bought two frames from Dale, Cycles de Oro. One is just a plain F.D. and the other says "Competition" om top tube. Both have Gipiemme (long rear) drop outs and beautifu cut out long pointed lugs, and derailluer cable guides brazed on B/B. The competition has 3 brake cable holders brazed on top tube, and seat post diameter is 26.8mm while the other one is 27.2mm. Of course both R-531 all through.
I think F.D. is very classical road racer geometry, and resonably priced quality frame.
I built up those F.D. as my Sunday rider with all Campy NR group.
Warmest regards,
