Sure, as a lugged, traditionally made frame I think that can be safely considered a KOF (Keeper of the Flame) even though it's a fairly recent build. Dave Yates is British and a very highlt regarded builder...

EBAY has a Dave Yates frame with no date. I'm not
familiar with this frame builder. It appears to be a
high quality frame. I can't make out the tube label,
but it looks like maybe Reynolds 653. Is Yates a
quality builder? Where is he from?
