Ooooh that's all very interesting, will try and do some some investigative work and see if I can unearth anything. I just presumed all frame builders ordinarily used native bb threaded and components on their frames. I guess the frame is a one off custom for a specific rider, hence the "Orville 1" stamp, but it seems strange that a customer wouldn't get an English frame builder to make it.
