Claud Butler* - £30

Seat Tube: 58cm ctc
Top Tube: 56.5cm ctc
Spacing 120mm

Horrible paint on the frame, peeling etc. No idea what model or tubing this is, lugs aren't too nasty though and quite a comfy ride. Forks are 27" and were shot blasted by the previous owner. Mudguard NOT included

Selle Italia C2 Saddle manganese rails blah blah, slightly scuffed rear end - £20

Feel free to abuse my prices or my sofa. Cheers for looking!

cheers hippy, that's what i thought...too old.

maybe it is the aus/nz firm after all - the decals on this look pretty similar.

i thought this might happen.....

Hi all,

My google skills have failed. Anyone know anything about this frame/company?

It's 531, has campag dropouts and the original hardware is campag mirage with cinelli bars/stem. The BB shell shows the serial number 'S1179'

All it says on the frame is 'Avanti' which I'm guessing is the maker, although the only Avanti I can find online is the Australian/NZ firm... any ideas?

cheers guys.

Cinelli 1A stem, Aluminium - £56! did i miss something?

Caustic Soda worked for me eventually, coke was useless. I covered the seatpost hole with an old inner tube wrapped tightly over it and then round the frame a few times (it seems caustic soda has no effect on rubber???). I then poured boiling water and a few spoons of caustic soda through the bottom bracket 3 times a day for a week! It worked fine and the paint didn't even strip off on the bits I spilt! I wish I'd done this first instead of the hammer, saw, pliers, screwdriver methods...

pm'd on the 600s with single chainring.

pm'd on Sugino Mighty

Erm....did the sawing thing - everything was great till i tried peeling the post out - and then it all went wrong. now it looks like the Sarlacc pit from starwars. Anyone have any idea what to do?? solutions that avoid stripping the paint would be nice! thanks!

sorry for the hijack...i'm in the nursery. I've got a split/cracked fork race on my DA Headset... will this ruin the lower bearings (probably)? anyone got a spare kicking around? a long shot i know but I don't fancy spending £20 on a new one!
