If that's the case I think I was a Claud butler and I've been reading reading the frame marks upside down OLI8OI would be 108170. I think that would me it was built in August of the first year of a decade and was number 170.

Well that would certainly make sense then, maybe your Grandfather was waiting for Resilion brakes that never came, they may be even harder to get your hands on now and while they would be cool as can be to have you may have to consider drilling the crown and bridge to fit brakes on this unless you fancy a fixed gear setup.
