Alas i just spent the weekend with a can of paint stripper and some wire wool.
I've no regrets though since it exposed on the bb shell the initials M N stamped above the serial number.
(cheers tody.d for the heads up on re-sizing)
i little bit of google research suggets that this could mean the frame was made by one Major Nichols.
found quite a nice load of information here: http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/builders/majornichols.html
if it is a major nichols bike and ive understood the system he used to number them, then this frame was the 8th frame built in 1959.
