i recently acquired this, as is less the wheels, for not much. research has provided the oem spec, which shall pretty much be ignored (rolfe wheels? more chance finding rocking horse poo or a pair of matrix mt titan rims).
The question i have is related to the 2nd pic. is this some now obsolete flat disc caliper mount? and if so how do i go about using it? lads in the LBS were confused when i asked today, i was neither armed with the frame or a photo. one of them asked if i´d heard of retrobike (????) and sujested asking here. fair point really. that said, i´ve got nothing on tomorow so going to head back with the frame.
