Re:
Info on W B Hurlow here: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Britis ... Hurlow.htm and http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/hurlow.html. He was and is highly regarded. There is a small community of people who will pay a lot for a WBH frame, including a fair few in the USA.
I had a really lovely one (under his own name, not Condor) which I sold on here (very quickly) for £300 in 2011 -- see http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=174794. Very different to yours (later: 1977, and not with his characteristic fancy lugs.) If the buyer's reading, can I buy it back please?! Still regret selling it.
If that chainset is a Pista, they can go for more than £50 on eBay. Two gone last month for over £100. But they do seem to fluctuate quite a bit -- needs a good listing.
I agree that you're likely to get significantly more for the frame and chainset than for the complete bike: the current configuration will make it less attractive.
