531ST framed John Perks bike with Campagnolo hubs, & Suntour gearing. Currently £29:95: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177091272849?_skw=531+bike&itmmeta=01JVBXWEWZPNBRXBTH6VV4CYAH&hash=item293b766091:g:4bsAAOSwJxtoFYTZ&itmprp=enc%3AAQ

It was tempting at £49.95 now it's even more so

That’s really grotty

That's being diplomatic, lol .

My 531 Zeus 2000's frame had been amateurishly hand-painted white just like that (ostensibly to match an oddly-shaped white carbon fork). Had it re-sprayed by Bob Jackson in Saronni red, mercifully.

Mind you, wouldn't spend £120 on a paintjob for the Brompton. Maybe the £50-70 my local powder coaters charge...

Setup looks all over the place and that rear guard is making my eyes bleed, but it does look nice otherwise - love the internally lugged fork

Agreed. Also nice to confirm that it wasn't just my BJ re-spray (mentioned above) that was so delicate/fine. Can't believe how easily it chips !

Don't know enough about this Claud Butler bike - the front derailleur boss (on the down tube) & state of paint may indicate an older frame.
Buy it now at £61.04: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18675645...D6ZTD8&hash=item2b7b8d4f91:g:x2gAAOSwu2ZnI6v6

My guess 70's

Falcon Eddy Merckx from my era, Falcon played a blinder with Mr Merckx and bought the rights to put his decals on any old tat. Eddy was not best pleased lol.

Might be a bargain to strip for parts. Has an unusual crack along the headtube

Is it carbon?! 🤣

Got to admit, my preference for a folder is steel
