Subject: [CR]Help in dating an 'Argos' frame requested

Hey, all....

I just picked up a very nice Argos frame, and could use some help in dating/identifying...the only other Argos frames that I have seen (back in the 70's), were all racing models; this one is a touring model with beautiful fancy lugwork, a 'fastback' seat cluster, and what appears to be proprietary chrome-plated rear rack, brazed together out of steel rod stock, rather than hollow tubing. I checked all the websites that I know of, and nada about the Argos marque. Any background data would be most appreciated....on a related note, the frame has a couple of dents in the top tube; I just ordered some frame tube blocks from UBS, and before I try using them, I would love to hear from any listmembers who have experience with these.

Thanks, Larry Myers Portland, OR, USA
