Frame identification.

[Andy Short]

Can anyone help in identifying this frame from the upstand on the head tube?
We have owned it for 10 to 15 years. We took it to Argos racing cycles for checking for truth, they thought it would be a renown maker but didn't know who. It has vertical rear drop-outs, so can't be that old?
There are no markings on it that we can find.
Thanks for looking.

Tony Oliver certainly built frames like that. We need many more photos, plus details of the frame number and its location.

Ok. It is my son's. I will get more information when Boris next deems it safe to do so.
Thanks.

My Roberts has an extended head tube, and I've seen others of his like that.

Ok. Could be One of several. Sort of predates the now popular sloping top tube.
I will see if I can see a frame number but, as I have recorded all our other frame numbers, it is either well-hidden or full of paint.
Thanks.
