I have seen more attractive plumbing.
Surely needs a brooks?
Ti? 1974? Hmm. Stick a magnet on it, that should reveal the truth...
Can you chrome plate Titanium?

The youth of today, no class! 😉

Defo needs a brooks imo, though that's apparently a vintage San Marco saddle...

Indeed... a magnet will reveal all 🙂
Interestingly... digging around on the interweb, found this post on Retrobike that mentions the same serial number as the seller of this frame...

Ah, was just taking a punt there 😆
I reckon the Ti refers to Tube Investments who owned Raleigh and Reynolds rather than the metal.
ahhh... makes sense! goes to show what I know of cycling history! 😳
lovely, nice and simple.
Not likely to be Ti, That's just an old Carlton - it has pump pegs, mudguard clearance and hanger for old centre pulls.
Tubular investments?
Mine will look stunning this winter.
Edit...ooh and a lamp bracket. Not a turd by any means, but still polished. Looks like the sort of thing the factory would give to visiting royals.....must weigh a to as well?

Jeez the tat that excites folk. Faddists.
There is something very wrong about that saddle on that bike..
Apart from that looks nice.
