I'm guessing its a mid to late 70s? Unfortunately the Reynolds sticker is unreadable but others I have seen are 531c, which sounds fast but also means the frame is about as stiff as a fist full of linguine. Al dente, mind, but still slinky AF. Also this would have had 27inch wheels in it's prime and with 700c will need ultra deep drop calipers which I'm not keen on.
Back from the pickup meeting i mocked it up with ratty parts I had flying around and here it is in all its junk yard glory. I actually rode it around the block like this, nearly crashed and decided I def need brakes after all.
