For Sale: vintage claud butler fillet brazed frame 58cm 1940/50s

531 frame ,made postwar 1940s /1950s i think , lovely rear dropouts and fine brazing, spearpoint lug on seat tube . BB shell serial number 1938 dont think this is a indication of year , "claud butler 194? something "stamped on the down tube , super thin pencil stays ......lovely bit of british cycling history !

frame has been stripped + lacquered to show the brazing ,(armourtex £70) sadly someone trimmed the gear /brake bosses to make a "fixie" before i got it , the original benelux lever band still on frame , as is rear mech hanger so still could be turned back into road bike with love though i rather like the fillet brazed spots ...........

sale includes frame + forks , newish bottom bracket , new stronglight a9 alloy headset, + good used seatpost , been built up for 6 months since lacquering but rarely ridden as just too big for me :(
seat tube 57 top tube 58 .

£100(down from 120) ono

It looks cool mate, but what is Armortex?

What's the oln of the rear wheel

armortex are frame painters , they stripped and lacquered it. OLN i will measure but i believe i have 126 mm hub in there right now , i guess it was originally for 120 mm

Have the forks been lacquered aswell?
Is the seatpost pictured the one included in the sale?. Also what bottom bracket is included? has it done many miles?

yes fully lacquered frame + forks , seatpost is one in photo of full build , nothing fancy but nice enough , bottom bracket is about 6 months old but like i say hardly ridden since build as its too big !

Really nice, looks great built up with those drilled levers.

just needed a brooks really . if someone wants the full bike i would ask £350 , nuovo record / ma40 wheels recently built . gb bars and stem , mafac NOS levers + gum hoods , mafac callipers, panaracer paselas ,andel cranks, drilled 46t ring, 16t sturmey on rear, stronglight a9 alloy headset , turbo perforated saddle .

Hi,
I am interested in the complete bike and live in N16 so easy pickup.
How tall are you?
Cheers

my height is 5 foot 10 , this is a fraction too big for me as its a 58 top tube / 57 down tube .
