Thanks rik but im looking for something in pretty good nick and hopefully shiny.

oooo, they sound interesting, very interesting. I can handle the tubulars, I dont suppose you have any pictures?

Hi, I’m after a decent pair of high flange 27” track wheels if anybody has any.
Thanks

Dibs on bars 1 & 10 if they are still up for grabs. PM sent.

i went to get a bent stay fixed by them a couple of months back and they did a great job, looked good as new. Got to have a sneaky peak at their work shop too, there were some beautiful restoration jobs and the rack of finished frames was exquisite.

cheers guys. 27"x1/4 would probably look to weird when used to the 7/8 so i will probably go for those 1" panaracers. Cant see myself finding any thinner than that.

and you rekon those would fit ok? shame about the extra width, dont suppose there is much i can do apart from magicing some up. what about inner tubes are they going to be difficult to find too? thanks for the help.

does anyone know if tyres are still available in this size? if not are there any alternatives? thanks

Yeah that's my house at home. Not really a collection, it's only 2!

Ha ha, I was wondering if anyone would notice the deceptacon stickers, I think they work rather well. Yeah I had a feeling it might be on the steerer but that's a job for another day. I will take a few more pics when I get home.

good to see my bike massacred once again!

So you think something like this Morgan? i dont know if i like it, even though the photoshop is exceedingly crap and it would look about a million times better.

nope nothing

yeah unfortunately there are no numbers! i have searched high and low.

Hi all, i was wondering if someone could give me some help identifying this bike. I have had it a while now and was told it was a Claud Butler when i got it but im not too sure. Its my everyday runaround and i really do love it but i would like to know what it actually is and how old it is.... any Claud Butler experts out there? Thanks.

yeah, i cant say the one that is on it at the moment is too clever.

Im game for a team pro but you think honey? might have to do a little photoshop jobby to help me decide. It does kind of suck about the rear derailleur i have asked the family i got it from but unfortunately the original must be lost in the sands of time. That’s why i was thinking go single speed for a bit then when i find its original derailleur i could put it on, i wouldn’t be doing anything silly like changing the hub though. Could anyone hazard a guess at what this bike might actually be worth just out of curiosity.....i think i will decline on the unipack.

a swallow would be lovely bit it would cost as much as the entire bike! would be nice though... obviously not before rattle canning the frame black cutting off the braze ons and fitting the fluro saddle. hmm my sister does need an slr but i think i might cry a little if i had to part with this bike.

i am deffinatly not going to convert it to fixed! it was only a glancing thought about going single speed but i asked the bike and it told me it was quite happy so its going to stay as is.

i have no idea! i wish i knew how much of it is original, i have contacted Tim from rotrax cycles and sent a few pictures so hopefully i can find out. I want to try and reunite it with its original saddle what ever that may be. It also came with some Christophe toeclips and straps but i took them off, i might put them back on though as it looks a little lost without them.

yeah i think i will keep it as is, it does need a new saddle though. i would like to know what it came with originally. just reading through classics lightweights now, some nice examples but i cant see mine. A link to some higher quality pics if anyone is interested.

oo sorted, never mind

Yeah you too! not sure which to bring to bath this or the claud butler...anyway one more pic.

Hi all, just wanted to share my lovely new bike. This is a 1952 rotrax I don’t really know much more than that. The bike is in amazing condition and belonged to my friends dad unfortunately it has spent most of its life in an attic practically virgin, bad news for the bike, good news for me. I bought it off my friends mum for £100 and it comes with the original paperwork, I have no idea what its worth but I thought it was defiantly worth a hundred quid, it's beautiful. what do you guys think? anyone seen one like it before? I know the company were based in Southampton and built some lovely bikes, I don’t yet have the paperwork so I cant pry any further. Any advice on a new saddle? unfortunately the original has gone. I was thinking I might convert it to single speed and just use it as my fancy sunny day ponsing around bike, as I already have a fully geared claud but then look at it I don’t know if I have the heart.

i have posted more than 3 times and been on here for more than 24 hours but i still cant start a thread... strange. any help would be much appreciated
