My Turn to play "Name That Frame"

This may or may not be my big score from the Ttown swap meet. While schlepping around exasperated that no one wanted to part with the rubles I was asking for my bike came across a guy with some little trinkets and two frames. One was a Colnago Duall cross (very tempting) and the other was this humble tired looking frameset.



It did meet my three basic requirements for finding a frame there. My size, braze on shifter bosses and drilled for a Portacatena
holder.



It seems fairly light and is well constructed with filed lug points, and great little touches like the diamond reinforcement at the bridges, a petite pumppeg and a backwars brake bridge! yes the brake mounts into the triangle.





When the PO got the frame it was covered in duct tape and when removing it and the adhesive the paint and anything else started coming off. The only clue to the bike identity is a sticker on the HT from Point Reyes Bikes. Other than that there are no markings visable on the frame.


I checked for rifling, none. Seatpost 27.0, dropout 122.7 but no big deal since this was likely used as fixie/SS, the steerer which may have paint that matches what is on the frame is Tange. OH English BB





The PO thought maybe is was built by a Tim Tenins, Tinnems something like that but not Timmons. Any ideas?



Current plan is to see about having it media blasted and inspect for number, cartouches, and brand stamps. Then maybe a few new brazeons and then a paint or powder coat.
