1985 (?) Jamis Dakar Competition f&f

Seems to be a really early one (not mine).

Not sure if it´s really fillet brazed (unlike the later fake FB Dakars), and my proposed build date is debatable, but double rollercams seem to fit.

According to this MBA test it is fillet brazed, although over TIG welding. Also look who tested it

That would really push me over the edge (if it was my size and I´d be on the same continent)
