Hi all just at home keeping busy
I have this frame and a few things I'm not sure about. I have looked on this site and have seen bike that have a similar frame like Tom bromswich with the sloping top tube, so the first question would be is the frame an early mountain bike or more of a touring bike.
Also the left fork blade has brazed cable holders as does the left chain stay, not sure why or what these would be for , any help would be appreciated. Also any ideas as to group sets or handle bars to build the bike up. Thanks Eddie

Re:

I’m pretty confident that’s a touring frame, the braze-ons and head tube angle give it away.

Cable guides are for a hub brake too I imagine.
