Hi I'm Steve I'm just 60 and 40 years ago raced bikes! No chance now but would like to at least try to ride a a few miles every now and again, I ride a motorcycle so still side with two wheelers. My partner has just bought herself a Giant hybrid Dash 1, so short rides together would be good: if I can keep up!! I was contemplating a Boardman as they still resemble bikes I used to race, as against the modern slopping frame designs. Then I found an old Claud Butler in the roof space of my daughters outhouse and now I am totaly besotted with finding out what it is and if it's worth spending money on. I raced a Harry Quinn frame with begged, borrowed and reused parts between '67 & '72 sold it when baby came along, should have kept baby and bike and sold wife!!! I work for myself and don't have a great deal of free time to peruse these pages but any help with info on Claud would be greatly appreciated!!
