This is a great century frame or a frame for someone who appreciates classic
lugs, wants a racy
yet comfortable frame, and appreciates good value. Never heard a bad word
about an Eros. Indeed it is celebrated as a fine ride.
There is a tiny ding on head tube that is hardly noticeable. I think that a
frame shop could easily run a mandrel through to remove it, but frankly
it's not worth the trouble. Perhaps this was built up, but there is no
evidence
of having been used.
