Lovely mate!
What's the boss/fixing on the stays above brake bridge? Did it used to have canti/centrepulls?

Thanks. Yeah I guess it did.
I picked it up from an old guy as a frameset only.
It has a been a bit of a ball ache to get it set up 1x10. Obviously the rear needed respacing but the headset crown race is 27.0mm instead of 26.8 so had to bore it out on a lathe. Also cable stops are smaller than modern standards etc. But it has been worth the struggle. Old Reynolds steel frames rides so nice.

Just finished my partner's little Carlton Franco Suisse (1962ish).
Although it is 120 OLD rear spacing I managed to set it up 1x10 (44T x 11-32T).
Wheels are 105 5800 laced to Mavic A719 with Specialized Roubaix Pro 30c.
