Just picked this up this week, I'll be using it until my Motobecane is finished. It is much too small for me so no distance stuff, just around town, giving me a bike to ride, then when the Moto is done it should be a great fit for my wife.

Don't know anything about the brand, but that's a great looking bike. Looks extremely versatile. Is it fillet-brazed? The only thing I might consider changing is the stem - it looks too chunky to me for such an elegant frame. Nice find!

I'm fairly sure it is tig welded. This one is Columbus Thron tubing with canti brakes and the lady I bought it off had gearing for doing CX on it. I think some nicer quality components came off it too, it has Campy hubs, deore FD, sora RD and lower end shimano STIs now
From what I have learned , Athur Caygill is a small English frame builder reasonably local to me and quite well respected by "those that know". Has a shop about 30 miles from me, I may call in and see what original spec was.
I'll post some better pics tonight if anyone is interested
