Got this very nice Geoffrey Butler road bike for sale.
I picked up the frame a while back and got it built up very recently..
However a couple of rash purchases last week mean I can't really afford to keep it :-(
The frame is built from Reynolds 531c tubing and is nice and light.
The groupset is 14 speed shimano. Mostly rsx100 and 600.
Had a new chain, cassette, handlebar tape and cables fitted since it was last ridden.
I was particularly attracted to this frame because of the nice tight angles combined with mudguard braze-ons. The frame is a really nice metallic blue, loads of tiny scratches, some bigger ones, but they only show up in certain lights and the frame still looks pretty tasty.
Seat tube = 60cm c-t
Top tube = 57cm c-c
I'm 6 foot and this fits me pretty much bang on with the 170mm cranks.
The seatpost appears to have become a bit stuck in the last couple of months, but I haven't been able to have a go at it with GT85 or anything, and i'm sure it is not permanently stuck (phasergunalex @ Fitzrovia Cycles has sorted out many a stuck seatpost for me in the past!)
Anyway very nice classic British steel road bike which rides beautifully and is just waiting for a pair of mudguards to be slapped on and ridden throughout the winter!
