Hi Jim,

Nice find. I haven't seen many Geoffrey Butlers around. I hope he doesn't ask too much for it.

I finally posted some photos of the Geoffrey Butler that I picked up at the end of this years Cirque swap. It cleaned up beautifully and has quickly become a favorite ride. I built it up as a five speed because it had the clear ghost of a single Campagnolo shifter on the down tube near the worn through paint and grime from years of use. It does have an unused cable stop for a front derailleur though.

I feel that this frame has an understated class that is especially noticeable next to my other Cirque acquisition , a Gianni Motta stars and stripes edition (currently built up with OT Suntour Superbe Pro). Two very different machines.
