Y'all
I didn't really need another project but this waif and stray came along needing saving ......
Badly hand painted and lots of surface rust. I'm part way through stripping it back to metal. 21 1/2", very thin steel through out, weighs a squeak over 4lbs. Plain gauge not DB. Matching forks. Can see the braze where the pump pegs under the top tube were, and a blob on the right side of the down tube near the head. Found remnants of dark blue over white. Serial number is 56698. I've found a picture of a Massed Start European which has the same lugs but different forks:
