Olly2

Retro Newbie
For Sale - 1985 23.5" Claud Butler Panache 531ST 'fast touring' (Audax) road bike, was asking £225 (LBS advised value was £250-300), now bargain at only ***£150*** + postage. It's a beautiful ride - comfortable yet responsive with some great retro kit. The bike is mechanically sound and fully rideable, but the paint is definitely worn in places as per the pics. Dry storage. Contact me anytime for further info, test ride, pics etc.
Thanks for looking

Re:

Thx Shaun! I'm currently the wrong side of the N+1 rule and need to clear some space. I'll be sad to see this bike go as it's been with me a long time :-)
