I've almost finished doing up a rather nice racer I picked up a while ago as a lockdown project.
It's in rather good condition (well it is now - when I picked it up it was looking decidedly sorry for itself!), the usual scrapes to paint on the chain stays but flawless chrome on the forks. It's running full 105 kit but I'm not sure this is period correct, I'd guess it's decidedly more recent than the frame. It's also got a rather nice aero seatpost and san marco rolls saddle. All fairly nice kit so I'd guess it's probably a decent frame too.
I've no idea who might have made the frame though - can anyone on here help?
It's got rather generic looking lugs and drop outs (to my mind):
The frame has guides for a full cable outer back brake mounted above the top tube, which may narrow things down to the cognoscenti here?
Serial number is a bit hard to make out but I'd guess SY 950058.
Any ideas? Whatever it is it rides beautifully
Edit: one of my pet rats charged across the keyboard first time I tried to post this - edited now to include pics and make sense!
