1994 Claude Butler Titanius?

[RetroBikeCollecter]

Just picked up this bike from the local scrap guy, I buy 2nd hand bikes from.
I believe it to be a Claude Butler Titanius?

Can anyone confirm for me please?

Needs work, rear whell is buckled, has no front mech, and you can just make out where the decals once where,you can just make out "Claude Butler" and "Titan..." on the top tube.

I doubt it. the seatclamp cluster was different, there are non of those “diamond” shaped windows. Plus I’m pretty sure the titanium was lugged a bit like a dynatech, and there is no evidence of that.

You may have a Claud butler, but not a titanius.

Try stick a magnet to the top tube see if it sticks.

The rust spots would suggest a steel frame.

@Peachy!

Yes, welds and rust mean it definitely isn't Ti

Would be better in the MTB section too. Some very knowledgeable people there.

Ahh yes, didnt think of the magnet trick, yes its steel. Just picked it up yesterday, and was at work most of the day.

Sorry first post, didn't realise it was in the wrong section...oops!

Can mods move to correct forum section please?

Welcome to the forum. We're not fascists It's not critical. I just though you would get better help.

It will make a good solid bike when rebuilt, Peachy is our resident Claud specialist and he's been tagged above.
