Pretty easy really.

Host the image publically (on Flickr, postimg etc) and link to that. Or subscribe and add it directly.

Are you building it yourself?

Looks like a giant meccano kit ?

Vertical dropouts on the bikecad drawing suggest not a fixie but can't see the rear dropouts in that tub so could be wrong.

Reynolds 725 butted main tubes if you know the stock codes đŸ™‚

Threaded steerer so very retro.

Lugged joints - silver or brass?

Making it yourself?....

It's a fixed wheel bike, I hope : )

(but the bikecad drawing has a geared dropout on it)

Sorry James....

You can redeem your frame design guru credentials by identifying the steerer diameter đŸ™‚

No not me building it, I'm sure it's getting a Columbus rear.

Yes semi retro. At least in profile. Cinelli Criterium bars and Record stem, Dura Ace seat pillar and modern Concor saddle.

Sram Force 11 Speed, loved racing on the 10 speed

I've built DT Swis R460 onto Bitex hubs. Done a tubeless conversion for Strada Bianca tyres

Might build a set of sprints, Nemisis tubulars.

Only two of the tubes are easily identifiable as Reynolds in that photo so others could well be Columbus.

I'm more puzzled where they are intending to fit the extra tube - towel rail? đŸ™‚

What quill stem? Skinny aluminium ones feel scarily flexy after 30 years of aheadstems.....
