Free to a good home Claud Butler 531 frame (Altrincham - WA14)

[BobS]

Collection only!
I have a Claud Butler 531 frame surplus to my requirements. It is a 22.5“ frame. It has been mine for about 30 years I have always assumed it is a 1950’s bike, but I have no evidence for that. There is a dint in the top tube (it was there when I got it), the forks have been replaced with some dodgy chrome ones and probably need replacing again. That was my doing. Paint work is original but in poor condition. I have checked that the seat post moves, but left it in case it is an unusual size. I have also left the cranks and single stronglight chainset. I ave run it on 700c wheels, but I expect it was built for 27".



I have more pictures if want. Should make a good restoration project for someone.

Hi @biggs682 do you know this member. Not replying to confirm if there or if sold.

Would like to have if it was there as I am staying in area tomorrow.

Frustrating to say the least!
