Lovely find!
I've always kept my eyes out for either an Ephgrave or a Frank Lipscombe, but have never found any in my budget!
The story of the 'lollipops' on the seat stays is an interesting one! Apparently, Les was very 'careful' with his funds..... When there was some industrial racking made (think Dexion style), there was apparently a big pile of these getting dumped as waste, from the stamping out of racking...you know, the little holes the other bits slot into!
Might of course be bollox, but I love the story!
