Claud Butler decals

[mgazb]

I am in the process of rebuilding my wife's Claud Butler Lady Dale which we bought new in 1995. The frame is having a new seat tube put in after it broke above the top tube.

By the time it has been brazed and re enamelled there will be very little left of the original CB decals and 531 stickers.

Is there anybody out there who makes up retro decals?

Well, I got the frame back and Roberts had thoughtfully stripped it back to bare metal all over.

Can anyone tell me where I can find out the original decals and placements?

It's an 18 speed (Stronglight BioStrong elliptical chain wheels), with drop handle bars bought new in 1996 (although the chap in the shop gave us a discount as it was old stock).

thanks

I have found these pictures from 1985 could yours be that old stock?
Mentions here that the difference between the Majestique and ladydale is the latter is made with 531

Nick at H. Lloyd will have the correct transfers

Thanks Steve,
not that old I think.

I had already looked at these pages and the frame doesn't have the third frame tube to the rear forks.

thanks

Must be a Falcon Claud Butler then. I have never seen any pictures or catalogues of these so of not much help sorry.

Yes - definitely Falcon. The headset bearing cups say Falcon on them.
