Falcon Forrester

I've found some info on old Falcon bikes with some favorable opinions but cannot find mention of the Forrester anywhere at all. Anyone know anything about this bike?
I'm looking for a extra small frame for the wife, something i can build into kind of a gravel/light touring hybrid with drop bars, braze ons for a few water bottles and racks for at least the rear. This frame looks like it could be contender. They're asking $50 for the bike. Anyone have any experience with these?

There's no quick release, or binder bolt for the seatpost, it's probably stuck.

Looks like they may have tried a torch already as well.
