1950s Claud Butler Challenge Frameset for sale.

I bought this from the forum 3 years ago and didn't do anything with it unfortunately. Moved house and other projects got in the way so it has literally just been sat inside. Original advert is here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/291047/#comment13204676. Nice patina and lovely original graphics/decals, but the paint is far from perfect as you'd expect with a bike this old.

Seat tube: 58cm ctc
Top tube: 57.5cm ctc

Headset is smooth because I did take it apart and re-grease it when I got it.
Will throw in a seat post for it.
Please take a look at the original advert - it mentions about the front fork drop outs maybe being filed. Added a picture to the listing. The spacing appears to be 100mm front and 126mm rear.

Paid £80 in the end and I think it is still worth that including a £10 donation to the forum.

Collection only from London (King's X/ Angel station) this weekend ideally.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
