So went to see it, frame has some nice details (chain holder for when swapping wheels for example) and nice lugs, but heavy as hell. Right hand brake lever is quite nice, can't make up the brand. Best things were the chainset and pedals (and possibly BB) all Chater-Lea and rear hub and stem. Maybe seat pin.
Guy said it was his father's and that he had used it quite a lot in his youth and regretted to sell and also realised he might have made a mistake in selling (mainly for it being his father's)
Decided to tell him he could actually keep it and have a better thinking about it and that CL stuff was worth a bit more than the £50 he was selling the whole bike for.
