I have a fillet brazed frame with Reynolds 853, Campagnolo dropouts w/ chrome facing; chrome driveside chainstay, coin silver head tube badge from Mark Nobilette in Longmont, CO. - a very nice & fast bicycle! Mark has always impressed me with his frame building skills going back to his days in Ann Arbor, MI in a warehouse basement (1973 - 199?). Photos of his bicycle are available - let me know off list.
