Hi
I'm new here.
I need some advice as I have a Claud Butler Majestic bike that I have owned from new.
I bought the bike circa 1982 but have not used it much. Maybe I have cycled 100 miles over the years of ownership. I purchased it for nostalgic reasons having owned a Claud Butler back in the sixties. I was cycling to work on that bike and wore it out doing over 100 miles per week.
So my question is "Is there any demand for an almost unused, old but classic Majestic".
The bike has Reynolds 531 tubing, Sun Tour 10 gears and Weinmann brakes. The tyres are 32-630 (27" x 1.25"). I measured the frame at 22" or 56cms.
This is my bike
And I think this is the spec. :-
I have not changed anything on the bike other than new tyres some years ago.
Why am I considering selling it ? Well two reasons. One is that I am emigrating to Australia in the autumn. The other is that being a pensioner I do not seem to get the urge to ride it too often.
I still have a mountain bike and use that a lot.
I live in Woking, Surrey.
So is this the sort of bike anyone would want or should I just put in the classified of my local freebee newspaper.
Any advice appreciated.
