Looks nice. I thought the bb said HB but that doesn't throw any further enlightenment.

Looks like a bit of a dogs dinner to me! Maybe somebody else might have an idea on the frame, but looks quality.

I saw a bike very similar to that today in Richmond. Underneath that plastic cable guide is there cut outs in the BB?

I've seen a frame like that painted in the same way. Annoyingly I can't remember specific details but I'll have a think and hopefully come up with something more helpful.

Just about right for me! Remember the story about the three bears?
