Name the frame!

[spuri0us]

I picked up a frame today plus a big bag of components. There is no headtube badge on it as it was repainted, however, there is what I think it a manufactures engraving on the forks and the seat tube. What I'm presuming it is is an "h" with two lines crossing through it.


There is the number "60" engraved on the BB area and on the steerer tube. No other manufacture markings on the frame. Braze ons for water bottles and the downtube shifters. 126mm dropout spacing

A few clues.

Full Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset.
Shimano Dura Ace Freewheel
Gipemme Dropouts


A few pics:

Any help. I'm a bit lost on this one

Not a maker's mark I'm familiar with. Are there any Irish builders with the name starting with 'H'?

As far as I know, there are no frame builders in Ireland starting with H. There is only a handful to start with.

The seller was under the impression that it was German. Although I've no reason other then that to suggest that.

Bump.

Its fitted with an italian thread BB and a 26.2 seatpost if that narrows down anything at all.
