I heard there’s some great Claud Butler experts here.
I have a BLACK Claud Butler that seems to match the decal style as well as cable guides etc. as a 1987 Claud Butler. However, according to the 1987 catalogue there’s no black model for that year and none with 531 main tubes (as the decal on this bike suggests). It also doesn’t have the same brake braze-on things that were used then.
It takes a 27.2mm seat post and the tubing is seamless.
What could this bike model and year be? Is the black the original colour? If not black, what colour should it be.
