Peter: Thanks. How do you know? What are the significant characteristics? Inform me, please. Ignorance is a heavy burden. I may have been unclear in links to the Old School / Carlton site. Head lugs look like the Corsa Strada. Head lugs are not Super Scroll as shown on the International. Head badge looks like the one on the International. Also, seat stay treatment at seat lug is not crafted as on the photos of Corsa Strada nor International.
