Thanks Midlife. Yeah you're right on the lineage. Arthurs builder at the time was a guy called Richard Kent, who was an apprentice and then builder at Bob Jackson, before working for Arthur. He had a brilliant attention to detail like mixing up the sloping fork crown with the Cinelli BB and the Reynolds drop outs. The seat stay cluster is like you say another lovely touch. Here are some better images of the details. It was the micro 'C' on the lugs that sold it to me.

I'm a rider from the 70's so that frame is on the modern side for me but I admire the quality :) italienate seat stay cluster always a sign of a very classy frame. Elegant forks finish off a really nice piece of frame building .
