It has Shimano rear dropouts with a 122-mm spacing. The fork has Brev. Campagnolo dropouts. The rear bottom bracket shell is 68-mm. Supposedly it takes 27-inch wheels, but the distance from the dropouts to the cantilever brake posts are 290-mm, which matches my beater 700-wheeled hybrid.

Nice frame!

Just a guess, but the lamp/generator brackets and seat stay treatment make me think "English." What's the threading on the BB shells?

Maybe a Bob Jackson?
