looking for help with claud butler 1940-1960s
hello, my grandfather recently gave me this bicycle. He said he brought it at my age, which would make it about 1950s. From what he has said, its a claud butler with reynolds 531 frame. Im trying to find out some more information about it, so anything is appreciated.
thanks
These pictures were taken with a high spec camera so they might come out a bit to big, sorry!

That's a beautiful bike with some very collectible and valuable bits on it...Chater Lea pedals. Alumite rims. Wow.

That bike is likely worth a thousand in parts alone. It's a shame the paint and original finish are gone but you could restore it to it's former glory.
