Claud Butler Olympic Sprint fixed wheel, 531 frame and forks. I have been told by a chap that its probably early 70s and is made by Holdsworth.
Comes with 700c wheels, recently built with about 5 miles on, Suzue track hubs, stainless spokes and Mavic MA2 rims, new Continental tyres. Comes with the original 27" flip flop wheels, the fixed thread is damaged but has a 2 speed freewheel fitted and tyres.
Gipiemme pedals and cranks, Campagnolo chain ring.
3TTT stem, Galli brake levers, Weinemann black calipers.
Unicantor saddle.
The frame is sound with no dents or troubles, the paint is pretty good overall but has got scratches and a lump of paint flaked off the fork which can be seen in the pic.
When i got it it was covered in dried grease and oil, which has helped keep it in nice condition thankfully. its certainly not perfect but for a bike of its age its in really good shape.
I have kept it true to original state and kept anything on there which is still functional, such as the brake cables.
It is way too small for me and has been in my flat as an ornament for the last year. i picked it up as it looked a wreck but could see underneath all the 70s mudguards, lights, dirt and other tat it was a solid bike and too good to pass up.
After £420 for it complete, it's in Brighton and would need to be collected but i am happy to bring to the train station.
Someone has asked for the pedals already so am happy to take them off if whoever buys the whole bike would like it without the pedals and knock £20 off.
