Whoa that's BIG.

Photo opportunity I could not miss on yesterday's ride in.http://imageshack.com/a/img27/148/1r6v.jpg

Does this nice bike need collecting from Cardiff or could collection be London?

And do you have BB or at least know what size it needs?

Very interested but never bought here beore. What do i do? Steve

Apologies. First time I have used this and I did not read the rules. I thought someone on here might be interested in the bike.
No offence intended. How do I pull it before moderators cut my virtual head off?
:-(
Oops.

I am selling my early 70s Claud Butler Olympic Sprint fixed wheel on eBay.

eBay tem Number 150579967991.

Quite superb virtually unmarked original condition. As it came out the shop (Shepherd's Cycles in Parkstone) in about 1973!

Needs an owner who will ride the bike - which has clearly not happened in the last 35 years. I can only guess the bike was in a showroom or someone's bedroom most of its life.

You wont see another like this in a long while.

Just taken possession. Not top quality kit but real 1970s time warp. Almost unmarked. Even has the mid 70s Michelin Elan tyres that are almost wear free (that I will change!).
