^rear derailleur cable doesn't look like it will be long enough.

but no, my 653 Rourke had a Reynolds stamped bb shell with no cutouts.

I like to shift with magnets.
OK interesting to hear.

think it's a generic BB shell.
Here's another one for a start... http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/59804d1350596664-20121018_204244.jpg
Can't help with who may or may not have cast the lug but Swiss thread should narrow things down (no honest UK builder would have done such a thing..).
Have a look on flickr at Cilo and Zeus - both of them had Swiss BBs
I think you have something European* there

• by European i mean suspicious and probably a bit effeminate
  

do you even basket?

baskets are rad bro

Rad basket, bro.

what have you used to hold things down? any thing specific i mean?

Normal net bungee I think.

Changing a few bits on my Marsini build to give it a bit of a different look. So far I have the Omniums, Nitto NJS seatpost, H+Son rim built on Phil hub. Heres how it was before...

and how its currently looking...

On the to do list...
Purchase rear phil hub to get the rear built up with the same rim. New saddle, Nitto Pearl stem and getting some forks custom built, less rake, nice and tight! Oh and Nitto B123's are going back on once I have a nice stem.

Don't listen to the erection, baskets are cool :)

I was sifting through the parts bin the workshop and found some stuff to add to my brooklyn because I was bored.

Yup the grips are green and the seatpost is silver, but I don't care because free parts <3

Think I may have spotted you riding this near Brondesbury Park / Queen's Park on Monday, early evening.

Very likely, I think it would have had drops, hoods and brake then though.

Yup, it certainly didn't have a basket. :)

Thank you Regal, the brake lever and pad are not period correct... No porn ?

Don't bother, it's not worth it.
