I've got a fairly rare Trevor Jarvis small lo-pro frameset built for 700c rear, 24" front.

The most significant point to note is that it's in need of repair.
The lovely fastback seatstays have started to come away from the seat cluster - see this picture - but it should be an inexpensive repair to just re-braze.
I wrote to Trevor recently and he confirmed that he had indeed built it himself, but wasn't sure of the details as it has no frame number, just the pantographed B.N on the rear brake bridge, which he tells me were the original owner's initials.
It's a nice combination of lugs and fillet brazing made of Reynolds 531 with Columbus dropouts. It comes complete with beautiful C-Record era Campag Chorus headset, which I've just re-greased and is running smoothly (and worth a bit by itself). The phone pictures don't quite get it, but the paint is actually a slightly faded deep pinkish/red pearl with a number of scratches, chips, some loss around the dropouts and crude touch-ups by a previous owner - including filled internal-cable-routing-holes in the top tube. I've tried to show most of this but the camera's not great.
Seat tube 505mm C-T
Top tube 535mm C-C (actual) - got no idea what the virtual would be I'm afraid. Judging from when I had this half built up, I'd suggest this would be suitable for someone between 5'4" - 5'10" tall (and probably smaller, but I'd say definitely not bigger)
126mm rear spacing, so can comfortably fit both track and modern road hubs, depending on how you wanted to build it. Has allen-key recesses for moden brakes and braze-ons for front mech; down-tube cable stops/shifters; under BB cable routing and one bottle. Takes a 27.2mm seatpost and British-threaded bottom bracket.
