check the OLN (width of read drop outs) - if it is 126mm (I bet it is!) then it is pre 89. If it is 122mm then older even than that.
check the underside of the dtube lug. If it is spear-point NOT rounded, then probably pre 80s.
Also it has the cable guides over the top of BB. I can't recall exactly but I think this pre mid 80s feature.
It seems to have allen key brake bridge - this would make it prob 80s.
The Reynolds sticker is late 80s, but as others have pointed out, it's been resprayed so original stickers would have been removed.
To me, this looks like a bog standard mid 80s clubman-style frame. But it always hard to date a frame exactly, unless you have access to the builders order book.
OLN is 124mm and the dt lug is pointy underneath. what do you mean by allen key brake bridge?
It does seem quite a nice frame to ride, I guess I'll settle at mid 70s to 80s as an approximate age.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
