Claud Butler Tourer

I swapped that bike for a kids climbing frame.

Lummy! You just inspired THIS

Just a quick suggestion before you sell it on, AL 700S is probably Aluminium 7005, tubing, Claud Butler tend to name their bikes more recognisably, have a look at the top tube, there is a squiggle there that is indistinguishable in the photo but is where my old Legend had its name. Your new bike looks exceedingly like a newer vrsion of that, but they did/do a few in very similar vein.

I swapped that bike for a kids climbing frame and still wish I'd hung onto it, it was a lovely ride for a commuter or easygoing mile muncher. My gripe was that the rear deraileur quickly and regularly lost it's just so indexing - not a clue what caused it, frame and hanger were right, new mech and shifters didn't solve it, it was the one thing that just annoyed the hell out of me after a while & a pal had the next version up, his did the same just not as quickly.

Cheers for the advice. The bike is lovely but sadly it is too big for me it would probably suit someone around 6ft+. It was only the other day I was looking at buying a tourer for commuting to work on in the winter months which makes this even more of a shame.
