How's the tyre visible through metal.
Rear tyre "runs through" the seat tube.

Split seat tube.

Built as a time trial bike pre aero days. Short wheelbase with a single chainring close ratio block. If the brakes are original the the cable runs date it about early eighties.

Thanks for that @biggs682 - from the advert it's in Middlesbrough and is £750. Description from the FB group:

"very rare Greaves of Whitby twin tube steel bike in as new condition. Few things of note are the twin tube seat tube and the short wheel base of 35 inches. TA cranks. Camp front shifter. 6 speed. San Marco Titanio saddle. 23 and a half inch c to t seat tube, 22 inch c to c seat tube and 20 and a half inch c to c top tube. Cinelelli bars. Think it was probably used for crits but perfectly usable as a road bike but with a little bit of care. Downsizing my collection of bikes."

It looks a very short wheelbase for such a tall frame so handling will be interesting:
