Re Hobbs Blue Riband one of the pics the top tube looked pretty bent. Would be a few hundred quid to sort out, but worth it for starter £40. I’ll pick it up and drop at Argos for you ;)
Edit: looking again hard to say, that first pic looked bent but maybe the light / failing eyes / medicinal brandy. Offer stands :)

I like the Hobbs but can't see the tube creases mentioned in the listing.
I think some of the history of frame sizes is connected to the seat tube angle and changes to this. Article on the use of "Gallows" seat posts has a mention of this - https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/1046007-gallows-style-seatpost-english-roadster-cycles-why-were-they-discontinued.html
