Bought from dirkbang's friend (sorry, forgotten your name), there's a pretty good description of what the frame is in the link.

It's obviously not brand new, but not in bad nick, few scratches here and there but nothing too stressful. Builds into a really pretty bike. The paint is sort of pearlescent in sunlight.
I never got around to putting a front mech on it as I don't think there is currently a cable guide under the BB shell for it - you can pick these up for a couple of quid from various online shops however and I think that should be all you need to get it with the full complement of gears.
If anyone wants close up pictures of anything let me know and I'll post them here. Since buying, it's had a bottom bracket put in (ultegra octalink) and a shimano 105 headset.
The frame is for 27" wheels, I've run 700s in it using Tektro super long drop brakes from sjs. Also, I've drilled the back of the fork out to take an allen bolt brake.
Price for the frame, forks, headset, bottom bracket - £sold. Included is the clamp on downtube cable stop. You can have the seatpost as well for an extra fiver.
Collection from W12 / PM me if you're interested. I'm not going to post it anywhere. Dibs to be followed by PMs - please don't express an interest if you're not going to contact me / answer emails / turn up!
Attached is a picture of it in it's current state. Various of the other parts are also for sale:
bars - Deda dritto straight bar, 26.0 diameter. £sold
stem - Nitto 1" quill, fairly short. £sold
rear mech - shimano sora. £sold
Cheers,
Chris
