Hello,

bought this of pirate and now dont really have enough $$$$$ to get it all up to scratch.

"Beautiful vintage (circa 1960s I think) Claud Butler road frame - would make a lovely fixed/SS conversion or built up geared (though rear stays are 120mm). I'm pretty sure it's 531 though I haven't seen the sticker. Really nice lugs too. Long campy style dropouts. Stats are 57cm top tube, 55cm seat tube and 53cm effective standover toptube to BB. Head tube is 11.5cm. It's stripped ready for repainting, but still has original CB head badge. Braze ons are removed. The marks on the steel are only cosmetic NOT rust, and it has no dents or cracks. Also included are the original chrome forks with 15cm threaded steerer, original headset (loose bearings, regreased), seat bolt, Claud Butler stem and cottered cranks (you might not want to use these but they're lovely looking things!).
£90 the lot."

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 >

Mention another user by @username

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

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
