You might have seen this one on ebay :) I got it because of the chunky tyres on a roadbike frame. I want to convert it to an ebike, plus pull a bob yak trailer... am I going too far with this frame? The forks feel very springy and taking a tight turn with the trailer makes the front wobble.
Apparently it's a Claud Butler Majestic designed for 27" wheels. Rear dropout is 126mm. How are those 26" wheels fitting so sweetly with the brakes?
Is it worth rebuilding the front with new forks and chunkier stem, or would this stress the rest of the frame too much? It's apparently 531 tubing, but I suspect this frame was resprayed and decals lost.
Or should I let it go ...
