I am sorry for the confusion but I had no PM after the initial enquiry about whether the the frame was a suitable size... Without payment or confirmation of payment by this morning I sold it to the next person who contacted me...
I do have a couple of other very small frames:
CONTI c1990
Seat Tube (ctc): 50cm (19.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 52cm (20.5in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 43mm
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
It is said that Conti frames were built by Ciocc and that it was simply another brand name of theirs … certainly this frame is exceptionally nice quality and has a Ciocc style cutout in the BB shell. The finish is in very nice condition save for a spot (shown in a close-up photo) which was caused by a wheel in transit. There is is a small dent (but it is very small) and the finish should touch up very well - the recommended technique would be to use nail polish which certainly comes in suitable shades... Very small frames such as this are rather uncommon. £125 Now SOLD

BILL HANNINGTON AUDAX/RANDONNEUR FRAME c1980
Seat Tube (ctt): 51cm (20in)
Top Tube (ctc): 52cm (20.5in)

Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Vitus 980
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 53mm
Bill Hannington was a small framebuilder baseed near Reading in Berkshire. This extremely nice little frame is in excellent condition with excellent paint (just a very small number of tiny marks) features Thanet like Hellenic seatstays except that that they are not connected to the seat tube - on a small frame such as this it gives a lot more room for a saddlebag as a well as a distinctive appearance. £135
