sure its not "a something else" frame that had "fatty Russell" stickers on it? I don't recall grub screw fixing on Dave's frames, but could be a later version. "Shot in" seat stays were around 1970ish and later. The practice of respraying and re-stickering was a well known feature then, and to this day too.
Yes, I did know him/meet him/etc as he used to be a supplier to Rohan's Cycles where I worked as a student, and "fatty" was his nickname.
In those days a shop cpould order frames from anyone and have their name stuck on them eg Edwards of Camberwell was one of those frame suppliers- I had three from them with Rohan stickers put on them.
