Hi Paul, welcome to the forum.
In 1995 there wasn't much of a range for the Brevet to sit in! I'm going to guess it was aimed to undercut custom frames while still being competitive against stock frames. So it wouldn't have been built to the very highest artisan standard, but better than anything from the average bike shop. It might have pre-dated the Audax model, when that did come along it was considered a class above the Brevet, filled brazed instead of lugged and an upgraded tubeset, but by the time production moved to Taiwan I doubt there was any point in offering both.
How are you getting on with it?
