For Sale: Carlton or Claude B frame

Claude Butler 531 frame - 23"

I used it built up as a fixed then had it resprayed earlier this year with the intention of rebuilding it. However I am now riding smaller frames that are more suitable to my size 5' 6 -7".
I also have the forks and headset but I had given the guy 2 frames to respray and he got these mixed up and sprayed them pink. I was going to respray these myself but haven't got round to it.

The frame is beautiful lugless and absolutely smooth brazing at seams.

I'm looking for around £100

I'm in Maidstone but will be in Hackney over Xmas.

That is aching to be built up with a blue deep v (front) and pink deep v (rear)...or even a pink rear arrospok for ultimate pastelly-HHSB goodness...

I'll pass though.

Building my first fixed wheel, i'm about 5 and half foot, and after something light and nippy... Do you reckon its suitable?

Naah - too big for ya probably.
If you read the OP - the seller is 5'6"-5'7" and selling because it's too big.

I suppose it depends on your leg size - I rode 23" frames for years but when I measured correct leg length it works out that i'm more suited to 21". Others I know around the same height lave longer legs and need a larger frame. Best to go to one of the sites that give you frame sizes based on this.

Lack of lugs, shape of drop-outs and fluted seat stays make me think it is not a Carlton so it must be Claud Butler if you say it's one or the other. But I can't be sure. I have four Carltons and it seems most unlike any of 'em. Still a very nice frame though. Now't wrong with Claud B of the period; I would guess early 70s. Too small for me. Just as well. Why do you need another bike, dearest? Wouldn't you rather spend that money on me and the kids?

This is sweet, although the forks are quite hipster tastic.

Swap you for an iphone? 1st gen like ;)

Dibs pending measurements and stuff like that.
PM sent...

Although lots of interest no firm takers yet.

I have put some more pics of the forks fitted as there seemed to be some confusion about the forks being different than the frame.

I have this and I may want to sell as it's another frame I can't take with.

It's a bit stickered up on the seat tube.

£70 or bits....

Fixed back wheel, pedals, a lovely jacket, love, hand job.
