I came across this and wanted to build it up into a neo-retro tumblr bike (the paint is amazing, especially in person) but very soon after getting it rolling I got totally sidetracked with job stuff. It's Reynolds 653, has a BSA threaded bb and 130mm rear spacing.
It got about 200kms use but there were a few problems. The first was to do with the headset adaptor; it slipped quite frequently, meaning there was vibration at the front end. I also never quite got the gears indexed properly and the Chinese carbon post slipped. These problems are quite easily rectifiable (e.g. new seatpost and a quill stem), and everything else is flawless - the group set has had very little use, and it has just been gathering dust in my room.
Would be perfect for breaking necks at cafes - just needs some wheels and a bit of attention.
Measurements:
ST C-T = 57cm
ST C-C = 56cm
TT C-C = 56.5cm
HT = 15cm

Selling as seen (i.e. everything in the top picture). Would consider splitting if there's really no interest. I was thinking somewhere ~£300-350 for the lot? Call me out if that's off.
