Authenticating a vintage Colin Laing frame

[davester65]

Hi Guys, Looking for some help/advice on how to authenticate a Colin Laing frame? By the look of it I think it's a 70's built frame, the livery on the bike says Colin Laing Racing Cycles Redcar Yorkshire. There's no frame number stamped into the bottom bracket and I can't see one on the rear dropouts either, no bottle cage bosses or downtube shifter bosses, so I'm leaning towards a mass produced frame with Colin Laing Livery, though some of the components suggest a well specced bike, campag nouvo gran sport derailleurs and shift levers, campag seatpost etc non original shimano 105 brakes (late 80's variant). Does anybody know if Colin Laing bikes were built and sold under licence after he moved to the USA?

Pics might help, not to identify the maker as such but to see if it’s a well made frame. Lug shore lines and all that.

The bike just landed at mine this afternoon, will take some pics of the lugwork, dropouts etc and post tomorrow
