Apologies for the long delay in replying to your posts. Thanks again Doug for sharing your knowledge and advice, I really appreciate it. It's good to hear about the history of the CB and Holdsworth frames from that era. Shame about the lack of an '83 CB catalogue but your detailed points about...

Thanks for all of your feedback I appreciate it. I've uploaded a few close up pictures showing frame and paint details. I've managed to speak with the seller on eBay who I purchased and collected the bike from last year. He couldn't shed much light on the bike as it was his brothers but finds...

Ok thanks for the explanation. I'll take some better 'close-up' pictures of my bike showing the tops of the stays and upload them.

Re: Ok thanks i’ll look at weighing it went it’s all restored. There’s no way that it could be a 1983 Majestic model as that has no cage mounts on the frame? It also has matching 531 frame tubes and forks, similar cranks, matching mudguards and rear rack. The only thing that is different on...

Thanks again for your research and model suggestions Peachy. Both options sound realistic, it's a shame we don't have a 1983 catalogue to help us! I'm hoping the frame hasn't been resprayed and re-stickered. I can confirm that there are no threaded inserts in the down tube or the seat tube for...

Hi Peachy, thanks for your reply and info on the 1983 Panache model. It makes sense and the spec apart from the saddle and rack does sound very similar. I'd seen them online but was just a bit confused by the 'Steel Blue' colour and my CB being Black. I've attached some photos of the Reynolds...

Hi, I've recently purchased a vintage Claud Butler and I'm trying to find out the model name and year it was made as there is no name decal on the top tube. I believe the bicycle to be from the mid 1980's, possibly a Dalesman or Majestic model but I can't be sure? Is it possible to find out...

Hi, I'm currently restoring a 1980 Raleigh Record Ace and I'm trying to source some of the original Esge gold coloured mudguards. These also came on the Raleigh Clubman of the same era. See attached picture for the type that I'm referring to. Can anyone help? Cheers, Jake

Re: Many thanks for the link! :D

Hi, can anyone help me in trying to source a pair of these tyres? Cheers

Re: That's great thanks, if you can let me know tomorrow that'd be awesome. Jake

Hi, can anyone help me in trying to source a pair of Michelin World Tour Amber Wall tyres in 27 x 1 1/4 size. They're for my 1980's Raleigh Record Ace restoration project. Cheers

Winter is coming! :( If anybody has a Race Guard or Crud Guard for sale let me know - Black or clear please, thanks

Re: Hi thanks for the replies. Some pictures would be great, cheers

Can anybody help? I'm trying to source a front Crud Catcher for my 1996 Kona Cindercone in black or clear. The style that attaches to the underside of the downtube. Cheers
