Hi Dale......list,
I too had a look at this frame and the fastback seat stays are very much in the style of a 'Woodrup'.........I've done many frames with that seat cluster, the reinforcing back plate was welded on the seat lug beforehand, and the shape typically had the scroll feature.
However, judging by the 'domed' treatment to the dropouts, and the brazed on stops.......I'd say it [if it definitely is a Woodrup] would be from the early to mid 70s........I'm sure by the time I joined Steve Woodrup in 77 the stay ends where done in the style of simply being chamfered.
cheers Kevin Sayles Bridgwater Somerset UK
