claud butler

I am just doing a deep clean and rebuild of my Claud Butler bike which I bought (already renovated) from Bikes For Good Causes in Wood Green several years ago. If I remember correctly the bike had been sitting in storage in someones garage and was donated when they passed. The shop put some new...

I'm looking for help working out when this was made, and what model it is. This is all I have to hand, but I can get more photographs if you can tell me what I should specifically look at. I tried working it out from the available databases, but didn't get very far. Thanks for any clues given!

Hi all Would someone be able to help me ID this bike I'm intending on selling for my dad? Unfortunately I only have a photo of the headtube but it seems to be quite a rare pattern. I found this ad online that seems similar but I believe the one I have has always had gears...

Hi all, In July 2022 I added a post to the old Claud Butler frame number identification thread regarding a bike I had retrieved from my partner’s dad’s garage. That thread seems to have disappeared since, along with all my original posts; but I thought it was time to provide an update… Back in...

1991 Holdsworth / Falcon / Claud Butler catalogue

1995 owner's manual for Falcon, Claud Butler and Harrier cycles.

52-page catalogue from 1991 featuring Falcon cycles and their associated brands Claud Butler and Holdsworth.

60.5cm seat tube c to c, 56cm top tube c to c. Holdsworth era frame (see pictures for frame number). I had this professionally refinished 20 years ago by API resprays in Chelmsford to its original finish for a family member but it has been unused since. A few small storage blemishes but...

Hi all, new here. I've been told this might be a great place to get some advice. I inherited some bikes and am looking to sell them but have little idea as to value or what the specific models/years are. As well as 3 Bromptons in good condition, a Santa Cruz frame with Marzocchi Bomber...

Hi All, First of all a quick apology, as my knowledge on bikes it terrible. Me and my wife moved into her grandads house recently, and with it came a couple of vintage bikes, which we would love to get one of up and running as a nice gesture for the family, and to use for some casual riding...

Hello there. I built this up during lockdown. I bought the frame with the intention of building it back to original condition, however, I decided I would rather build it to something better but still sort of period accurate (assuming parts had been upgraded over the following 20 years!) frame...

Well, I'm bored, so why not? Actually, I've been meaning to do this for some time now, ever since @IHateRain donated most of the correct running gear from his Titanius over in Germany to the cause. So, my German Titanius F41 00557 (which had a short life as a gravel bike, see here; ) is going...

i have recently aquired an incredibly ratty claud butler gran sport frame from around 1974 for cheap, i'm intending to build it back up into some kind of usable bike, but am lacking knowledge on seatpost sizes. It is neither 25.4 or 27.2 but some kind of middle size which ive never encountered...

Rear wheel was stolen this morning and want to get a replacement. Picture attached. Martin

Morning, I popped out for a pootle on my 1954 Claud Butler Jubilee Special, first time since loosing a lot of weight (5st!) Positives; The Brooks Swallow is less painful 😄, and my lower arms don’t ach as much (less upper body weight?) Negatives; I find myself running out of gears. It’s got a 4...

Well it won't excite that many folk, as 'dripping with oddles of Shimano Altus' is rarely a grand opening gambit. Neither are the Kalin bar ends made from recycled Fray Bentos pie tins. Nor is the Reynolds CrMo sticker going get many salivating. Also, I'm sure like myself, rapidly approaching...

Looking to sell my late father's Claud Butler Super Coureur which is in need of a full restoration. This is what I know/understand about it: Frame number: 14629 Original colour: Bright Green Flamboyant Made in 1962 for the launch of the 1963 brochure (been informed that it would've been made by...
