Bought a 22 inch fillet brazed one on the bay a year ago for absolute peanuts, 1948, plain guage 531 for a 27.0 seatpost, with the original metal headbadge and Lytalloy seatpost clamp, it was for 26" wheels so 700C fit a treat.. just had it refinished and it looks like it was made yesterday - lovely frame. They do pop up on ebay regularly and are often very cheap, I own several different models, most of which looked like basket cases but are so damned light and ride lovely.
I'm riding a 1950 Raceweight to work at the moment with the same lugs as Knowthejo's. Good luck with the project!
