I have a Claud Butler 531 frame surplus to my requirements. It is a 22.5“ frame. It has been mine for about 30 years I have always assumed it is a 1950’s bike, but I have no evidence for that. There is a dint in the top tube (it was there when I got it), the forks have been replaced with some dodgy chrome ones and probably need replacing again. That was my doing. Paint work is original but in poor condition. I have checked that the seat post moves, but left it in case it is an unusual size. I have also left the cranks and single stronglight chainset. I ave run it on 700c wheels, but I expect it was built for 27".

I have more pictures if want. Should make a good restoration project for someone.
