Help with frame age for Rory O'Brien and pump

[Bubblewindow]

I have just been given this Rory O'Brien. The only number is on the Nervex lug bottom bracket
69o3064o0222 2 635

I assume this is the lug number?

The picture is not great but it has gold letters on the downtube and a transfer with made in Romford.

Can anyone tell me approx age?

Also where I might get a pump measuring 19inches as it has brazed on lugs for one.

From what I can see, I'd guess that it is a 60s frame; but you may pick up some info. from this thread - if you've not seen it already.

might have a pump that will fit , is that compressed length ?

give me 24 hrs and will advise

Can't tell from the frame, but from some of the gear I'd agree with pubrunner. Looks in fantastic condition for it's age. Cottered cranks - blimey.
By the way - that stem is downright dangerous pulled all the way out like that. It needs to be adjusted much, much lower.

Thanks for the advice will sort it

got a couple of pumps that are in compressed state and either 48 or 50 cm long any good
