Hi,
I have (/had?) a Claud Butler mountain bike from c.1997.
The original Claud Butler frame was a rigid frame in chrome silver and it cracked and was replaced under warranty by my LBS who was a Claud Butler dealer.
The LBS replaced the frame and I am not sure whether the replacement frame is even a Claud Butler Frame as it has no decals or other marks on it and at the time I was a kid and didn't know any better! (The Rock Shox were added some years later after the original rigid forks were bent in a crash.)
Does anyone have any idea what the current frame is?
Does anyone have any idea based on the wheels/groupset/stem/bars/saddle what the original Claud Butler bike would have been?
It has the following components:
Shimano STX RC under bar shifters (8 speed)
Vuelta Air Line I rims
Shimano STX RX hubs, with Shimano QR and 7 speed HG cassette
Shimano HG Triple Chainset
V-Brakes
Tioga Saddle
Frame size 56cm/22"
Once I work out what it is, then I will be moving this to the 'How much is my XYZ worth?' forum.
Kind regards,
Oli.
