Hi, I aquired this vintage CB a few weeks ago from a local guy (via a freecycle website). Its a great old bike but its just too big for me. I told him that I would use it as it was just lying around unloved in his shed. I've cleaned it up (a bit) and put some new brake blocks on it, serviced the headset and bought a new 5 speed free wheel for it. I've now realised that its too big for me (its a 23'')to ride at all so I can't really do it justice. I told the freecycle bloke that I wouldn't sell it so I'm offering it up here for exchange/ swap. I'm after an old hardtail (17'') to use on tow paths etc. I have 5 year old twins and I'm getting a tandem tag a long for the summer but I don't want to tow it with a £2k carbon Scott! So if you can use this old CB and have an old clunker (or a frame and some bits) to swap then get in touch
Spec 23'' Claud Butler fillet brazed frame (not lugged)
dunlop rims
michelin tyre (plenty of life left)
original british bars ' engiterre' ?
5 speed shimano sis rear mech
orginal chainset with coter pins
rat trap pedals (all with some surface marking)
(I would like to keep the brookes saddle in the jeps but I have replaced it with a Bontager saddle.
