Dunno... I suppose we'll have to wait with baited breath to see if he actually changes it, or whether he was just fobbing me off.

The name Claud Butler has a certain mystique among non cyclists or casual cyclists of my generation. Even in their heyday they were never anything special over what your local lightweight shop used to sell, but CB was a very clever marketer and long after the brand had gone through a number of owners producing mostly gas pipe specials it was quite common to hear, "Wow, it's a Claud Butler", from those who thought they were the sought after bike of every cyclist.
Rather like Harleys in the powered two wheel world.

Are you sure? I think we should all asking him that question, just to make sure like.
EDIT: Dropped him a message and he's admitted it's an error - seems like quite a sound bloke tbh
It's still £1,000 three days later. He probably thinks he's got something valuable as two people have contacted him regarding the price.

My father (would be120+ this year ) used to say CB had two golden years, first prewar and second when Holdsworth first took them over. A mate of his had a Torino and it was quite lovely -looking.
Yeah, perhap he was just humouring me.
Regardless it's hardly a desirable bike and nobody will be falling over themselves to buy it at any price, so he's only wasting his own time..

It might be a special edition one as that would increase the value......... IE £32 with a £20 refund

Since it's a random do you want to go halves?!
I wonder how it goes from memory those wheel chair motors are really low geared and also inefficient being worm gears (my basic engineering knowledge is pretty rusty through!)
No battery so you could knock them down to pay for a lithium battery about 100amp so say £300 therefore you £250 under so suggest he pays you £250 to take it away!!
Interesting though probably rubbish though!
Have you asked him Dave?!!
