Thanks for reply.
Yes I've seen the Jack Taylor, awesome!
Since my post I've decided that I wouldn't insist on using that frame (too recent, probably late 60s, unknown origins - could be Mercier, or one of the Motobecanes with Columbus tubing as I found similarities in internet imagery since) or that crankset either (I've decided it wouldn't belong to the type of project I want) so I'm back with just the desire for an old bike build as a starting point. I got really exited by a Plum Vainqueur on eBay (which had been on here as well previously) but size was just a tat off (would have been almost acceptable had the frame been a bit more special)...
I'll try to sell stuff if I find the time and start from scratch with a frame I really like...

Mix it up, it doesn't really matter. Put nice quality components together with love, it'll be a nice ride knowing you. Frame sounds good. Did you see my repaired jack taylor pics page 18? I think the frame (and definitely lots of 50s parts) is older than saddle, cranks & rims, but I'm happy that it works. It's a completely bastardised bike. Rides like a dream.
