For Sale: B I G Claude Butler road frame and forks in Reynolds 531 tubing.

I was looking through the spare room earlier and came across an old Claude Butler road frame and forks in Reynolds 531 frame tubing.

It's a B I G frame with a 25" centre to centre seat tube and 23" ctc top tube.
It has the original champagne paint finish which is quite tatty, but the frame has no dents or structural defects that I can see.

It has a front lamp boss on the right fork blade, three cable guides on the top tube, Pump pegs on the seat tube. rear ends are spaced to 126mm rear and front to 100mm .

The original design would have been for 27 x 1 1/4" wheels but modern 700C with a 23mm tyre give 32 front and 36 mm rear clearance to the frame from the tyre.

The frame has long sloping road ends and would be suitable for a fixed gear conversion.

You can have a look at it here :

I have no idea how much this is worth as it is a bit out of my sphere of competency so I am open to the best offer ( of cash ! ) by Saturday lunchtime.

I can deliver in Edinburgh and if the offer is good enough post in the UK for £ 12.

Would this frame be too big for someone who is 6' tall?
Thanks

I think so

Would this frame be too big for someone who is 6' tall?

Probably, it's a monster !

You would need to ride a BB to saddle top size of at least 86cm for it to be a comfortable fit.

Thanks for the interest,

It's good to see this board has folk with such a good sense of humour.....

however I am trying to clear space in the house not swap my "priceless treasures" for your junk !

I have a wife and small child to make space for....

( I can't think of a use for a aluminium disk wheel with a stripped hub.... sorry )

So I am STILL open to the best offer ( of cash ! ) by Saturday lunchtime.

Thanks for the offers of money,

some one is going to get a big frame for not much money on Saturday !
