Mystery frame ID?

A friend gave me this steel frame to build and I'm trying to figure out what it might be. It was apparently halfway through a custom repaint a decade ago when the project was abandoned. The tubes sound like quality steel. I'm guessing early 90s vintage. Appreciate any thoughts--thanks in advance!
  • Filet brazed steel frame
  • 26.3 seatpost
  • 130mm spacing on the rear dropouts, no name on forged dropouts
  • Interesting seatstay bidge design
  • English threaded BB
  • Headtube for 1" threaded headset
  • Brazed on DT shifter mounts, 2 bottle cage mounts
  • BB shell stamped 3C-111 and FY2U5318
Thanks!

TIG welded, not fillet brazed.
