Subject: [CR]FS restored Claud Butler frame 22"
I've been a bad boy and bought too many bikes lately so have been selling a
couple. Here is a Claud Butler frame that I purchased a year ago or so and did
a nice restoration to. <A HREF="http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rdf1249/lst?.dir=/Claud+Butler&.src=ph&.order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/">

Pics show before and after. If you would like to see other pics let me know what
and I will take and send. I am selling frame and fork with a NOS TDC headset
installed that is very smooth. By the way, this is an early 60s frame, which
I believe was after Holdsworth took over the brand. Read about Claud Butler
in CR or in this site: <A HREF="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nkilgariff/">http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nkilgariff/</A> I believe this
might be the Coureur 5 speed model but I don't know for sure.
Here is the deal. Today the price is $1000. Tomorrow it is $950 and it
drops $50 per day down to $500 ( I've got more than that into the frame and paint)
so pick your price now and if no one one-ups you then you get it for your
price. Shipping is on you, $20-40. It was re-rustproofed and had a serious
amount of surfacing done to it prior to paint so is exceptionally smooth now. The
paint is PPG Deltron in silver and radiance red. The decals are from H Lloyd
Cycles and there is the correct Reynolds transfer on it plus a nice CTC
decal. All decals are clearcoated over. The frame is 22" to the top, with a 22
1/2" top tube. Takes 27" wheels. Get it while it is hot.
