    Just picked up this Claud Butler Majestic

    I purchased a Majestic frame about 2 years ago for the princely sum of £30! I put it together as a fixed wheel winter steed. I am so pleased with the quality of the ride experience. The longer wheelbase, as compared to a modern road bike, gives it a solid planted feeling. All road chatter is...

    Lightweight Raleigh tourers 50 years apart restomod

    Chapeau Sir. I admire your single minded pursuit in restoring these lovely bikes. There is far too much new stuff in the world. However, to create and re-purpose older frames to meet your requirements is commendable. Well done!

    Love your thread reindeer. What an antidote to just blowing a couple of thousand on the latest carbon gravel rocket. You have given me some ideas for a project. This means another bike in the garage! Your thread is the reason I inhabit this forum, Thanks.

    onegoodbike's TJ Quick winter build.
