Stumbled upon this unique looking frame with in the local classifieds. Smooth welds, nice dropouts, Reynolds 531, and a funky swirly canti guide. Is it worth anything?

Came from these guys, they changed addresses but they’re still operating. Inner City Cycles https://share.google/AQw6ouXTDtrj8AOSM
You should contact them and let us know what’s what because this frame is a thing of beauty for sure. The components are dogshit though.
that cable guide is sweet!
That brake hanger screams custom.
The fork is from a Giant
It’s almost certainly a custom builder pre 1996. The 531 sticker may be a red herring, but it also could have been made using old tubes the builder was trying to get rid of. The only distinctive features based on your photos are the seatpost lug and the curled cable stop bridge, yeah? 1″ headtube? Your setup suggests that the bb shell is 73mm, but… What width is the bottom bracket shell? What is the serial number (and where is it) and who made the dropouts?
Can’t help but that cable stop is very cool!
Bilaminate top tube is pretty sweet. Ignore the parts.
That lonely cable stop breaks my heart
