Just bought this, unseen. Made a cheeky offer and it got accepted.

25" FW Evans touring frame. I'm trying not to get over-excited, but hopefully I've finally found the frame I've been after for years - a handsome steel light touring frame in XL size, with a relatively short top tube, and for a reasonable price. And (whisper it) being a touring frame might mean it has large enough clearances to take 650x42 tyres and guards (if brake drop isn't too much, that is... I'll go plain old 700c otherwise).
Let's hope that when it arrives, it doesn't turn out to be a shitheap.
