Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

You need my Thread '25" Claud Butler Sierra ex Drago' https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/25-claud-butler-sierra-ex-drago.296073/

That's far too big.

Go on 😄

Nup - the quantity I have is already verging on "problematic"... I have told myself that I'd take a mint Randonneur or Classic at the right price; but thankfully either are a suitably unlikely proposition that they've not yet presented a problem...

If that was one size up, I would've had a punt. I had one in green back in the day.

Indeed; I'm still a bit on the fence re. sizing but my Routier is a 23.5" frame and doesn't feel obviously too large. Would be interested to see how a 22.5" variant felt in comparison however..

The green ones look very nice and I think I prefer the aesthetic of the muted colour and chrome socks.. however I think they're really quite a different bike with many older standards - wheels are 27" for example and I think the brake format is different..

A couple of nice finds

Hebden Bridge lightweight poss Vitus/ Alan https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1096894808402262/ worth checking pictures as can't make my mind if the head tube is cracked by down tube

A couple for restoration in Thatcham

[DCLane]

@biggs682 - looks interesting. Too big for me but it's near-ish so I could collect (I go near there on Sunday) if someone's interested.

My only worry with the frame would be the head tube / downtube joint:

Interesting shame about the dent

Just trying to remember who was the lady record breaker who rode an 'Elswick' that was actually made by someone else but she was sponsored by Elswick hence the decals
