For sale is my Claud Butler Elite, which was my first road bike in my late teens. The frame has never been crashed and with it's smooth welds looks great although there are a few cosmetic marks to the frame, which I've touched up and couple I've not got around to doing, I've photographed these so any buyer can be aware.

I've upgraded the components over the years so it's now a dependable, fast bike and a perfect introduction bike for anyone getting into cycling.

Sorry guys, it sold this evening to a guy around the corner, so a very easy transaction.

Wardy, I think the cost of delivery would probably be half the bike's value! Thank you for the interest though.

LG, do you have any restrictions on your internet? I know some employers block image hosting sites.

PB, you have mail.

Claud Butler - that name brings back memories of my first bike, it was ancient when I got it, all duralumin alloy and intricately engraved handlebars. It flew. The razor thin leather seat was not nice though. I bought another bike for commuting to my first job and one day came home to find my dad had dumped it! Never spoke to him again, almost.

I thought it was a great bike, looked fairly retro with the downtube shifters, I'm not sure what the current Claud Butler bikes are like as the company have been taken over now.

Anyhow, I'm locking the thread now as it's sold.
