Just a quick message to guage responses.
Some of you will know from an earlier post by me
( http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=153339 )
that I had bought a Geoffrey Butler with suspected 1958 Campagnolo parts on it. I cannot pick it up due to illness with the wife so extremely reluctantly asked the guy to re-list it. He was very understanding and a very nice person to speak to.
He now knows what I know, but is still a nice guy wanting shut of this bike from Burgess Hill.
Facts: Front mech is first edition 1958 Campagnolo. Hubs are chromed Campagnolo, straight arm QR = probably late 50's. Seatpost & cranks are Camapgnolo .... suspected 1958 lipped version. Campagnolo Nuovo Record Rear Mech.
IMHO this bike is seriously loaded with genuine late 1950's Campagnolo and other rare items all mounted on a very nice 1970's GB frame.
Bottom line: IF anyone on here is near to him and wants this bike I'm sure he would negotiate a fair price. If there is ANY interest, please just leave a note here and I'll get back to him with those interests.
Cheers, Laz.
