Annoyed ...

[Rhythm Thief]

I got a phone call from an old cycling mate today who I haven't spoken to for a year or so. He used to ride a classic Claud Butler Panache audax bike, made in the days when Claud Butler were a quality make. He told me that he's moving to Canada in three weeks' time and so he's had a big clear out, which involved selling his Claud Butler for ... £50. He knew I always coveted that bike! He even said "I nearly phoned you to see if you wanted it." Grrrrr.

Never mind, you'll just have to tell yourself that what you are riding now is much better.................I know it doesn't help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was amazed to get such a bargain

I expect it's a good job he's moving to Canada after dropping that little bomb-shell?

Is he still your mate then:?:

think of the cash you've saved. i bought an old reynolds 531 frame that even though i had a spare full groupset and one wheel for it, still cost me more than to buy a cheap alu bike from decathlon. that said, i was in it for the steel so as not to ruin my 6061 alu framed bike on winter commutes.

I used to have a Panache - just the most beautiful bike to ride. I still miss it

Welcome David C.

What would you think that a Panache in barely used condition would be worth?
