Hi, a question essentially for Mick. I recently acquired a Claud Butler USWB
tandem , built in 1948 by Bill Gray. It was built for Ron Sherit of the
Redmon CC. Ron, with stoker Pat Wright broke the RRA record from Holyhead to
Cardiff in, I believe, 1951 on this bike. Ron had overhauled it in the 70's
and had used 70's Claud Butler stickers. These were in a state when I bought
it and I plan to fit period CB transfers but not repaint it. It has Ron's
name on the toptube. Mick, do you have any more info on this record, time,
distance, weather etc? When Bill was still alive he lent me one of his
frame building record books and I took copies including the entry for this
frame.
