Ohhhhh… good spot!
That, if I’m not mistaken is an International Club
Double butted 531, continental drop-outs, the very best of the fillet brazed models…
Looooook at those lovely long seat stay tops!

What a gem! Hidden under a shit paint job with all the wrong stickers and wrong head badge….

I was tempted but the cost of repaint was too much to consider for a £75. None bidded. If it was £45-50 I probably would've punted. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a lugless CB or other marque in 55-57cm c-t.

If I didn’t already have enough Clauds, I would have..at £75 I thought it was super cheap. Especially in comparison with the prices of much lower end models in eBay..
