Inquiring about any known information, in regards to a frameset, engraved “J Mortimer” on steering column & bottom bracket . “JM72” is engraved on the column as well. Frameset appears to be vintage 60-70s lightweight. Very well done lugless/fillet brazed construction. Any information on builder will be greatly appreciated.
J Mortimer ???

Middlehill Road. That’s a postcode. Reckon it might be the owner?
That of course suggests it was made for someone perhaps?

Thank you for the pictures. 
My first impression is that it is a very nice frame, from a small builder (serial number 108?), once owned by a J. Mortimer. The "JM72" seems to have been done by the builder (client initials and year?), whereas the "J. Mortimer" looks to have been added by someone else.
I'd love to see a picture of the whole frame.

From 192, don't have an account so that is all I see, could be him. Not sure what year the data is even from, think you can pay and see the whole listing

Fat Finger Syndrome. I hit the wrong letter:
Down on the South Coast if it is a postcode. The States? It must have some stories to tell. It will build up into a good bike.
