Thanks a lot for the info, a friend who knows bob and also has one of his frames said that the bb was probably cinelli but the crowns might possibly be reynolds. I thought as much re the brazing when I saw these pics too but wasn't sure if they were welded. Haven't had chance to see it in person yet.
Seems like Bob was a pretty good craftsman when it came to his later frames, I think this may be 1985,1986. I'm glad to know how the bike was made. The 653 tube is a mixed set right? Usually 753 rear triangle and 531 front end?
Once I have got a few more posts in I will start a current projects thread and you should be able to see the build.
