Wow - so good to see my old frame get some love! Sorry I can't tell you any more about its origins. I bought it second hand in the mid 90's as a bare frame from a guy in Tolworth, already sprayed up in the weird copper colour it is now. I built it up as a touring bike (pic below), and used it for riding to and from school. Seem to remember that the Mavic bottom bracket that my local bike shop fitted costed me £50 at the time, which was a lot of paper round money!
I used it on and off for the last 30 years or so, including most recently for commuting, and it rode really nicely. I only took it off the road when it started to get a bit too ratty for my liking.
