*Additional Info
 It's possible this was used for road racing or time trials using a 650b wheel at the front
and 700 c at the rear.
 
Ref my notes below about 26"   - This  provides an estimate for you iro brake drop for 650b.
 
I have previously set this up with that combination but did not take  650b brake drop measurements. (of course 650b fit in both front and rear)
650b wheels are readily available
 
a 700c at the rear would have a 60mm brake caliper drop requirement. But would not fit in the front
 
Another combination 
I have fitted 24 inch junior/youth race wheel (Picture of wheel Set Up) and reach required at back is 75 and front 65  - which does make for an option for this to be a build for a junior 
Rear Wheel Spacing is 130mm I have had a wheel with a 6 speed in quite comfortably. Front 100mm.
The bottom bracket was absent when i acquired this so is not included.  Shell measurement is 70mm
OMAS italian headset included.
With thanks

A note about our used bicycles & Frames. All Items are genuine vintage and whilst in full working order, may also so show signs of age or own some distinguishing marks.

These small imperfections are commensurate with what is expected of a bike of this age.The bikes are not new.
