An early 70s SuperCourse is a great platform for this concept, given the stamped dropouts without a derailleur hanger and that they're plentiful and can usually be had for pretty small money. I've had a '50 and '51 Raleigh Clubman (currently have a '49), and the SuperCourse has a very similar ride.

yeah, as I was saying or trying to, you may have to use a setback seatpost to get a Brooksie set back where it would be with the 71 degree seat tube.
