I've just stumbled on a bunch of mid-70's bicycles for sale locally. Most are known by me (Ron Cooper, Super Mondia, Vitus, Fuji Racer) but one - she is a Geoffrey Butler. It's fully Campagnolo NR equipped, looks to have a very short wheelbase, no eyelets on the Campagnolo dropouts. I've searched the archives and Dales CR page but there is no significant mention about Geoffry. Is he related to Claude? Any info on him, his framesets & their reputation, experiences, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, while on a 15 mile ride today, unlike Chuck and others, I was not passed by anything above, below or next to me. I think my incredible blistering pace was the reason; but my daughter, who was riding next to me, claims it's becuase we were on rollers. Kids!!!

Thanks in advance,
