"I bought a couple of these frames NIB a couple of years ago when what I really wanted was a proper Team replica frameset. They had been purchased in Belgium and had 35mm metric bottom brackets, fairly good build quality but poor paint finish. It is possible that they were all made for the Continental European market -- it would be interesting if you could check the bottom bracket on yours and let us know what it is."
I checked the bottom bracket and it is english threade 1.37x24 I'm not sure what that tells us but that's what it is. A list member emailed me offlist and commented that these frames only had a 531 main triangle. according to the decals on my frame it is full 531. Also, there appears to be the remenants of a decal on the seat tube just above the bottom bracket. it's almost entirely gone but I can make out the TI logo and the union jack. anyone know what decal this is and what it said? I'm assuming made in england, etc.
