Claud Butler track F&F 531 - Bare metal - 54x56 c-c - £125

I got this beaut off a lovely South African chap. The story goes that his brother raced while he was alive in SA and it made it's way back over here with him to be used for training on the velodrome.
It was a horrible rattle-can silver when i got it and i have stripped and sanded it down. I had planned to sticker it up with CB decals and the correct 531's from H LLoyd but have never gotten around to it.
There are a couple of dents in the TT which is why i opted to strip it back. I caught my eye because of the lovely fork crown (Davis i think) and the wrap around seat cluster. It has Campag ends, the original head badge and a Sugino bolt. It takes a 27.0mm post and all threads are great. It is 54cm ST and 56cm TT measured centre to centre.

Overall it is a lovely frame that i think would look great stickered up if someone is up for it.

It's located in Barry, South Wales for collection or posted for cost with Parcelforce 48.

Hey man, I'd definitely be interested in this. The sprayers around me would do a lovely job, what would a classic CB colour be?

They vary greatly to be fair. Ive seen very nice ones in white and metallic blue. As long as you get the correct decals you can have whatever you want!

Price pls ?

Love this!

i'ld advise the buyer to drill a small hole at the end of the seatpost"slit" in the seattube. it's not there and should be stop the "slit" from expanding along the tube. besides that lovely frame. also the toptube looks to be able to be "rolled" back into shape. would be worth its while!

actually, it looks as though the old drilled hole has been filed/torn through. what's the story with that?

No idea i'm afraidd. From what i could gather this frame has been well used and abused over the years.
