John Olsen designed Montagna? What frame is this?

[singletrackmac]

Just picked this up today. Can you guess what it is?

First hint: seat stay pump tip braze-on

Edit: ok, so I started to scour the web for info on this frame. All i can find are 2 other threads on other websites with people asking for info on Montagnas, but no answers.

Anyone?

It that a U-brake at the rear?

Re: What frame is this? Can you guess?

Note his location

Frame dates at around 1986 with that pump mount

U-brake is in an unusual position for North America but could be an English frame abroad?

Is there a double or shaped brake bridge there?

Is that an X-Brace from a Yates or better still Tushingham...

No correct guesses so far. However, yes, that is a u-brake on the seat stay.

I will post another picture tonight when I get home.

Thanks for playing along!
