Vulcan cycle works bike?

I put this bike in the Classics forum, prob by mistake.
Is this bike a one off, custom build?
Pictures in the “Classics” forum.
I did get some very good info.
But, I need more!
I hope that the decals are a decoy!
Any opinion of value?
Prob won’t sell.

East Asian build. Mid to high level. Probably a lot better than it looks, so market value too low. If you like it and it fits, keep it.

I’m wondering if maybe the the bb cable guides and the upper cable guides were added later...

We'll, those circular cutouts in the lug bottoms I've seen before. I think it was on a Miyata as well, but I can't find the pics again.

Yes, Cinelli, as are the lugs with round cutouts.

Probably just the parts. Many builders used them. But then I wouldn't know a Cinelli built frame if I saw one (unless it said "Cinelli" on it). 
edit: and the bottom bracket shell is by Raccord Gargette Freres per the RGF stamp inside oval.
