Btw, I love the tourist photo of with the traditional gate. It gives a nice sense of place.
It's a hodge-podge of parts expertly assembled (i.e. by a pro, not me) just four months ago. The frame is branded Ken Ryall (the suburban London retailer), and also, "Legere" (no, not "Légère"), I suppose because it has Nervex Légère lugs. It's from 1961 and is said to have been built by Stan Pike (in Somerset). OTOH it's also said to take a 27.2 mm seatpost; but it most definitely does not, instead happily and snugly taking a 26.8 mm seatpost.

Frame aside, the only British bits are the GB hiduminium stem and the Brooks saddle. The pump is branded Lapize.
