For Sale: 1950's claud butler frameset

got this the other week but its a 22" (not as described to me) so it won't fit and not worth me restoring just to pass onto someone else, lots of potential i reckon...
unknown tube set but must date to from 1970ish according to the internet, cottered cranks and nice curved brake bridge
comes with cranks/bb/headset, post and brake callipers, pedals and straps

some rust on the head tube and fork but i think it could be sanded down and touched up as it's on the lug and crown - the seat panel paint is awesome

a lot of brown gunk came out of the headset when i sprayed in gt85 to remove the stem so needs a full strip down i would say

Just seen a webpage that may date it to 1970, and also a link to a 1971 catalogue with the model listed as either a frameset or complete bike, this model was so named due to using a Campagnolo Gran Sport rear derailleur, which I think was Record level

£70 posted...

£65 of your english pounds posted to your door with a complimentary box of tic-tacs (flavour subject to availability)

potential dibs for a friend..

i knew i should have offered confectionery treats sooner - will the tic tacs be your finders fee?

ha, I was going to put the frame in a skip, cant get tic tacs anywhere round here, london fields is all organic tat.

undibs though, he's not sure enough for me to stop anyone else.

how much to post to berlin?

still available

£62.50 and the tictacs still stand

Will this frame take 700c wheels or is the brake drop only suitable for 27"?
Any dents?

no dents and built for 27", you can always make 700c fit but 27 is better of course

finally; DIBS

I bet its been sold...
