Claud Butler

[biggs682]

With the Rotrax came it's garage partner Claud the Butler . Bit smaller at 20 1/2" but nearly as nice .

Bottom bracket stamped 0624468 whilst hubs and calipers look to be late 70's but covered in dirt and dust.

Looks to have had the original 27" rims replaced with 700's . Unsure about model and date .

I also cleaned the hubs to check for date stamps both week 4? year 78 as per the fr caliper so components deffo late 70's just not sure re frame
