...and all he hears is crickets. Hopefully Tmar will happen by sometime soon. Quality frame made with Cinelli components, anyway. Looks like a nice bike.

What is the BB threading? Seatpost diameter?
Without distinguishing marks, it's difficult to say - no doubt you understand that since you're asking what it is yourself
The problem is there are lots of basic framebuilder tricks here that any number of makers could have used. Without pantos, cutouts or the like, it's a guess at best right now.

It's definitely no older than 1984 as it has a patent 84 Cinelli BB shell. 27.2mm is one size under would I would expect to see on a 753 frame of this vintage. Workmanship also leaves something to be desired with poor filing, poor joint of stays to seat lug ears and several pinholes in chainstay end fill. This isn't what I'd expect to see on a 753 frame, let alone anything built by a known framebuilder.

Campy Dropouts, Cinelli BB, and Lug set with what looks like 113 or 115? stamped on the BB. Small builder perhaps?

Long shot, but didn't Reynolds require builders who used 753 to be "certified". Maybe there's a list...

Hi when you look at it very close its not as sharp & well finished as my friends Mercian which is very hard to fault.but it rides very nice maybe a lesser known frame builder Thanks for the info Regards Chas
