Thanks Midlife. Yeah you're right on the lineage. Arthurs builder at the time was a guy called Richard Kent, who was an apprentice and then builder at Bob Jackson, before working for Arthur. He had a brilliant attention to detail like mixing up the sloping fork crown with the Cinelli BB and the Reynolds drop outs. The seat stay cluster is like you say another lovely touch. Here are some better images of the details. It was the micro 'C' on the lugs that sold it to me.

Arthur Caygill 753 Road frame.
57.5 cm C-T, 56.5cm top tube C-C. Builds up into a stunning machine.
Some really lovely touches in the lug work like the Cinelli ‘C’ logo stamped on the seat tube lug and head tube lug. Classic Cinelli BB shell and unusual Reynolds drop-outs that kind of pre-empt what Ritchey and everyone after started doing.
I’ve added a picture of how it builds up, clearance for 25mm tyres only.
Such a quick bike to ride.
I estimate it was built in 1993 as I had a similar one made at that time myself. Do have more details on its legacy if your into that kind of thing. Either way it’s a frame to make you feel like a Prince among thieves … -
