Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

Track ends with a hanger and a single shifter mount, were definitely a TT thing in the Seventies.

This ties-in with the lack of cable guides: they were using band-on guides then.

Not really my era, but I'd wouldn't think there were too many people building lugless TT frames back then: the grub screw seatpost fixing is quite unusual and should make pinning down the builder easier.

Have you checked Classic Lightweights and Retrobike?

After a recent evidential intrigue I came here to beseech once more. Only now have I seen your comment, thanks, and apologies for lack of acknowledgement.

It is quite an odd job isn't it. Forgot about retrobike, will be posting summin'.

The new intrigue:

during an effort to paint the frame I found a small engraving on the fork, reading (P/R/A),C, M. Does it mean anything to anyone (recap: it is believed to be a TT Aende frame from the 70s)?

Is that the back of the fork? Looks to have been drilled out for a recessed Allen head nut (hence the markings being partially obliterated).

I think that read "BCM", for Bocama: a French maker of lugs, BB shells and fork crowns.

Yours looks like the middle one here.
