My initial thoughts it's was the claude butler professional that was 853 with webbed lugs but the seats stays join the seatpost lugs.
Perhaps it's been modified?
Love it great colour and condition.

@ianjchip An unusual frame - very tight clearances. usually older frames are
more relaxed !Yeah, It is a bit different (kind of why I was drawn to it) my guess was a custom job.
It originally was bright orange and had some DIY stickers that said "Vickers" which didn't reveal anything onlineI Just about squeezed a set of 27's on - might look at some 25's next time.

Love it great colour and condition.Thanks! Funny you should mention the CB Professional - as thats what I took the fork from to match the frame. Perhaps it was modified.
@Miitch Heres a couple of photos the rear lug:
/ your right about that saddle!
Cant say I've seen a webbed, wishbone, seatclamp lug before?
Bosh
Just built up for my girlfriend.
Reynolds 853, webbed lugs, wishbone seatstay, Centaur carbon 10spd groupset.
Unsure of the exact history of the frame?? - but guessing it was fairly old with shifter bosses originally on the downtube.
