For Sale: 1981 Claud Butler (Holdsworth) Majestic Reynolds 531 22 1/2 inch Brooks B17

Lovely old Claud Butler road/touring bike for sale, believe it's approx 1981 vintage and looks to be pretty much original/period. Size is 22 1/2 inches from memory - wlll post up more details/dimensions seat tube C to T 60cm, top tube 59cm. Some patina (a few chips which could be touched up if you wanted) but overall very good original condition for age.

• Holdsworth built Reynolds 531 frame/fork - nice lugs
  
• Brooks B-17 saddle
  
• Huret gear levers and front mech, Suntour/Raleigh V GT Luxe rear derailleur
  
• SR Sakae Silstar cranks
  
• Wienmann Vainqueur centre pull brakes & levers
  
• New bar tape
  
• ESGE guards (rear guard now shortened slightly due to damage)
  
  

Everything works etc but things to mention - tyres a bit perished/cracked (original Michelin white walls?), minor wobble both wheels, rear rim chrome finish has some pitting, rear guard has damage (see gaffa tape) - an option would be a neat cut making the guard shorter.

Added some more details to the ad above. Gave her a bit of a spit and polish then took her out for a spin tonight and really is a lovely comfy bike, great for L'Eroica Britannia! Any questions just drop me a line, cheers.

Hi, if the above don't buy would postage be an option? Used to have a majestic that I was in love with until it (and I) got wiped out by a Zafira at a roundabout. And this is a fiiiiine example

Hi Sam,

Sorry to hear about your prang :( still available at the moment, have someone coming over tomorrow evening, so I'll let you know if they don't take it. Was hoping for a face to face deal, but may be able to get my hands on a bike box - where would you need it sending?

Cheers, Andrew

Thanks all, sold to TJ enjoy it :)
