Would prefer a 58 but it would be rideable
I wonder who did the renovation and is it a genuine Pennine

I lived a stone's throw from the shop and I found them quite unfriendly!!

That's a shame , I contacted them a while back ie 3+ years ago for confirmation of a frame build they replied with the required info

Up for offer again this Saturday, same estimate of £20 - £30, probably same reserve, but not sure. Ten photos instead of just the one this time! Hell, maybe I'll put in a bid, not that I want it or have any idea what to do with it apart from give it a vibrant paint job, hang it on a wall and wait for the inevitable divorce proceedings. What is that strange sextant on the left hand seat / chain stays? What are all the other braze-ons for, including the one under the BB (threaded hole at the bottom end, by the way)? Mysterious!

Edit: not sure why they decided it was French, apart from the eccentricity. RGF lugs, although made in France, aren't diagnostic in themselves.
I had a Falcon Olympic, now given to my nephew, which has an RGF BB, and many UK frame builders used them in the early 70s.
Edit: sold for hammer price of £10, but not to me as I didn't bother to bid. Feel sorry for seller, hope the fortunate buyer puts it to good use.

Watched this one go for £160 this morning, in all honesty it looked like it was never used as no wear or marks.

I appreciate its robustness (since I have one on my beater MTB) but an Altus RD on a road bike - really?!
Otherwise, not bad at all for not much money.
