The late Ron Cooper's interview recorded for Jack Thurston's excellent Bike Show on Resonance may be worth hearing - in it he says something like:

'In the 50s there was someone building frames on every other street corner. People bring me a 531 frame with Nervex lugs and ask "who built this Ron?". And I reply "How should I blinking know?!"'

sounds about right. Guess I'll keep it as is for now unless I find out some info. That way at least it will be safer to use/lock up in Central London. (Touch wood). Still a lovely frame, who ever built it....

Have you been through all the builders on classic lightweights? It's going to be that signature notch in the seat cluster and partial wrapover stays that give it away.

There's a group on Facebook called Vintage Bicycles UK which seem to revel in IDing frames. Perhaps try posting it there?
