hmm...what about that rear hanger dropout?

I see more of a spoogie at the inner face of the chainstay, but maybe just the angle of the foe toe.

Here we have another lost soul in the bicycle world; it looks like a quality frame whose identity is lost in the sands of time. Seller deduces it's a Cinelli from the BB shell, but of course I doubt it. However it does look nice. Cast seat lug, Bocama (? The ones with the triangle cut outs) head lugs, Campy drops and semi sloping crown. English BB, so presumably an English or American bike, but not a Trek or Schwinn. Long fork tangs with 3 circular holes. I especially liked the nice borderless joint between the rear drops and chainstays. Can anyone venture a guess on the identity of this frame? I've asked seller for the seat post size, frame weight and whether the tubing is seamed.
