Continental? | Frameforks: 22 inch frame, 22inch top tube, Reynolds tubing? | | Colour: Originally green, overpainted blue. | Age: 1930's? | | Gears: - | Brakes: Hiduminium (alloy) rear caliper & GB levers | | Handlebars: - | Pedals: Quill (cobra) | | Stem: GB Alloy | Seatpost: Satalite alloy | | Saddles: Brooks B15 leather | Wheels: Weinmann 26 x 1&1/4 inch alloy rims, Harden alloy wide flange hubs, steel spokes | | Cranks: Durax, steel. | Chainwheel: Williams? | Other details: I have here what I beleive to be an old Claud Butler Mass Start with continental rear drop outs, and Classique cut away ornate lugs, the bottom bracket has Claud Butler stamped on it, the cranks have Durax stamped, the headset has made in England on all components, an ornate deco in appearance chrome fork crown, the rear dropouts have contintal stamped on both, you can view these components etc at: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/claud_butler.htm
I'm offering it as a restoration project with all its components & parts listed, it has a small dent in the top tube that should easily pull out (I can get this done), it has universal rust pits on the frame etc, so will need some attention, but it looks basically sound, the wheels are 26 inch with Harden wide flange hubs, the spokes are rusted, but appear to have some strength, the rear cassette isn't right for this bike, the chainwheel is worn & rusty, but again only surface.
It comes with a GB stem, GB brake levers and a rear brake caliper.
I have debated sending this off to Argo or Bob Jackson to get restored, but thought I would offer for sale as is for the enthusiast who may want to do it themselves to there own spec. SOLD! | |
