Time to officially let this one go now...it was being kept to one side pending a sale but it's now up for grabs again 
The frame is from around 1991 at a guess, but it's a bit of an oddity, sharing some features of the older OR frame (uncapped wishbone, horizontal dropouts), and others from the newer Race frames (brazed on cable stops, gussets). My guessing is that was some kind of mid-interval frame? Sizing is medium, so is 17" centre to top or 15" c/c, that said these do ride 'large' as those who own them will testify. I am a shade under 6' and rode this comfortably.
Condition wise it needs a bit of work hence the title! When I originally bought it I was informed that there were two hairline cracks present on the seat tube, one being at the point of the seatpost clamp and another on the weld at the wishbone seat stay junction. The former has definitely penetrated through the tube and will ideally need welding up. The latter does not seem to have do so so may just need a little braze running over it. I left the frame as is and neither seemed to worsen over 5 years of occasional riding (admittedly the bike wasn't thrashed though). The rest of the seat tube is okay and in my opinion doesn't need replacement. There is also a tiny,shallow ding under the top tube where it meets the seat tube but this isn't really noticeable and must have been there for years (I only spotted this when stripping the frame).
A repaint would also need to be on the agenda as well to really do the frame justice, there's plenty of battle scars as pictured, as well as some marks on the head tube from removal of a stubborn headset cup. I slapped on some replacement decals and again left everything as
The all important rear brake posts and correct fixing bolts are included, sadly the mech cable roller went AWOL a long time ago but could possibly be replaced with a correct sized stem roller. I used some teflon tubing on the front mech cable as a quick fix and then forgot to do anything about it
Given the condition I was thinking that £100 posted in the UK would be a fair price? Pictures are below and feel free to shoot any questions over
