Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out two Claud Butler tourers from the 1980s/90s. Shipping on bikes within the UK will be £20 - other items can ship free of charge in the same box. I can ship anywhere in the world at a reasonable cost.
ALL ITEMS ARE IN BRISTOL OR NEAR EBBW VALE IN WALES
Payment can be via bank transfer (preferred), cheque or the dreaded Paypal which costs me 4%…
** If you dib an item, please PM me and pay the same day unless you make other arrangements with me. Otherwise it may well be sold to the next person who wants it...**
Viewing/Personal collection is welcome as quite a few have found and have been able to get other parts they are looking for at the same time. But I am only in Bristol these days generally once a week but you will get a warm welcome in Wales near Ebbw Vale if you wish to make the journey.

Period bicycle frames & parts
CLAUD BUTLER REGENT TOURER 1991
Seat Tube (ctt): 21.5in (55cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22in (56cm)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531
This lightly used Claud Butler Regent dating I think from about 1991 is in excellent condition - the paint has almost no marks and everything works fine. But the mudguards are falling apart - I’ll include a spare good set. It has 6spd Shimano Deore indexed gears, Weinmann brakes, Maillard hubs with 700C rims, Stronglight 80 chainset (this will take chainrings down to 28T and can easily be converted to a triple), Lyotard 460D pedals, SR seatpost and SR engraved handlebars and ITM stem. £185
CLAUD BUTLER SUPER DALESMAN TOURING BIKE c1983
Seat Tube (ctt): 21.5in (55cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 21.5in (55cm)
Wheel size: 27 x 1 1/4in
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531ST
The Super Dalesman was the top touring bike that Claud Butler offered in the early 1980s and was built from Reynolds 531ST tubing. This bike is in sound condition but needs a bit of work doing to it - it needs some new cables, mudguards (I will include a pair free of charge with it), a rack (I think I have one I can throw in with it) and the BB needs either servicing or replacing. However the basic components are excellent - it as a SR triple chainset which takes the same the same rings as a Stronglight 99/80/100 with 86mm BCD and rings are available as small as 28T, it has the excellent MKS double sided touring pedals and a beautiful GB engraved handlebar with GB stem. The brakes are Dia-Compe cantilever which will work very well. Gear mechs are Suntour Cyclone MkII highly regarded in the day. The 27in wheels have Super Champion 58 rims with good tyres - however 700C wheels will fit in the frame and will work fine with the brakes... A touring bike with great potential £195
