old and very nice
does it actually matter about the specifics? It would have been one of their top end frames

Mid-late seventies Colstar?

- I assume it's a fully butted frame, rather than plain gauge main tubes.
Is there a "PAT" date on the rear derailleur knuckle?

just curious about it all, i like to know what I'm riding...
one-eyed_jim it does look alot like that colstar has reynolds 531 db tubing from what the stickers say, I couldn't see a date on the rear derailleur found where it says patent but no date, maybe i'm not looking in the right place?
need to get about sourcing some wheels for it now, and setting a rough value so i can purchase it, it got donated to us so I'd have to buy it off myself, everything else goes for about £40....

SR (Sakae Ringyo) was fitted as original equipment to the full-build Colstar in '77:

There are some obvious differences between your frame and that one - such as the pump peg and stops for the rear brake - and it looks as though the Colstar used long-point lugs in '77. If the rear mech's original to the bike, 74-75 would be a reasonable estimate of the year of manufacture of the frame.
Does your frame have water-bottle braze-ons?
