Retro Newbie
Hi new here this is my project
Picked up this frame on eBay UK Claud Butler new allrounder dated Feb. 1954, first project bike. It won’t be true to the original but as close as I can on my budget! I want to be able to use it when finished not just look at.
The family connection is, shortly after Claud butler went broke and sold out to Holdsworth in 1957 he came and lived in our house in Penge southeast london, my father rented him a room. I was only a baby at the time but he used to give my brother ball bearings to play with he probably swallowed some!
Progress so far
Needs the clear coat now then i start building and spending.
just damaged the paintwork doing the clear coat got to do it all again! Not Happy.
