I IKB5 Retro Newbie Mar 23, 2015 #13 Re: Help identifying old Claud Butler - Finished Hi, Not sure if anyone is still out there 6 months on but the bike is now finished. Just put the one pic up so far: https://flic.kr/p/rtnSbg There were a fair few issues with some of the components so I've opted for several new parts to make it as reliable as possible. However, the overall look is what I was after. Looking forward to it lasting another 60 years now.
