It's a lot cheaper on ebay, why is that? You didn't sell at £567.72 and now relisted at £542.22 so why the jump to £750?

Frame builder is Kevin Winter from the north east. The penguin logo is something of a trademark of his I've seen on a lot of his frames. Not sure if he's still building frames these days but seems to have a good reputation.

It seems to me that some folk on here are not interested in "great insight"...

Crown race looks ok to me. It's the top lock nut part that doesn't look right. The top lock nut should be sitting pretty much flush with the top bearing race cup assuming that the steerer has that notch in it to take the lock washer that fits between the two. The metal cups have a plastic cover...

gios.it is the website for the ones made in the far east, giostorino.it is the website for the original Gios company building custom frames still in Turin.
