It's a mid-80's low end Rossin "Infinity" road bike in the smallest size, 50cm. I've only just run a mockup configuration, and as of now I don't have a good pic of the bare frameset.
I only mentioned the brake reach as a means of guesstimating an appropriate wheel size. I work in a Co-Op & regularly see all manner of combinations of parts. The most recent was a 700c Electra Townie with a 20inch (406) BMX coaster brake wheel installed & a 7 speed cassette installed where the single speed cog ought to be. You probably guessed it; the derailleur was indeed blown out from coaster brake application & the frame tweaked from being tightened down on a 120mm OLD.

Anywho. If you're confident everything lines up as it should, then all is good as far as I can see.
