Not mine but seems a good deal……

Chas Roberts Frameset | eBay

No dents or dings. The left downtube cable boss is slightly out of shape (pictured). English thread bottom bracket (threads are good). Rear triangle previously took a 5 speed. Most of the black letter has been touched up.

Lovely looking frame with some unusual features, that headtube looks small for a 21" frame though. Would make a nice fast tourer.

Unusual features indeed.

Like the noodle on the bottom bracket shell and, what is that ring in front of the downtube shifter braze on?

Cable stop and guide for barcons. Edit they are cable guides on the top of the b/b.

Looked great, but I'd have wanted to know the frame number before paying Roberts money for it, the complete lack of Panto'd seatstay caps/fork crown and the use of those cable stops left me unconvinced.

I did know what the noodle was,

But what are barcons?

I’ve never heard that
