• Hey,
    I have to say that the frame you purchased isn't that good a quality, the chrome is poor ie the speckles around the seat post and the lines you can observe are from the copper underneath not being polished properly before chroming...
    secondly the forks have a cheap pressed steel crown, that would suggest manufacture based on cost and not quality. Also the level of finish on the chrome inside the forks is extremely poor, which also detracts from the overall quality aspect.
    The heart on the down tube is to help you position levers for derailleurs, and as such has appeared on numerous frames in the past, if the heart was a cut out in the bottom bracket then the news would have been more cheerful, as this would denote some exotic italian maunfacture.
    As it is...I think you have bought a bit of a dog, it's shiny ...but a shiny mongrel.
