I’m new to this group and not a bicycle expert. I’m looking for advice please.
I have a Claude Butler, assembled by Holdsworthy, frame and complements I wish to sell. It’s a circa 1980 frame. Not shop purchased, but self assembled back in the day. Where is the best place to sell it please? IMG_2206.webp IMG_2203.webp IMG_2211.webp IMG_2216.webp IMG_2219.webp IMG_2217.webp IMG_2205.webp

welcome to the forum! 😃

there is a tremendous amount of Claud Butler and Holdsworth information archived at this enthusiast created web site -

https://nkilgariff.com

from the serial shown on the frame a date of 1980 is indicated -
exactly as you write 😉

https://nkilgariff.com/Frame Numbers/Holdsworth Frame Numbers - 280721.pdf

it sounds like you might like to receive an appraisal and advice on selling

the best thread to ask for this type of information is here -

The best places I've found to sell are Facebook Marketplace, here and eBay. Looks like a nice frame. Most value looks to be in the frame, forks and cranks. The wheels, seat and mudguards don't look like much to me.
 
Really appreciate you taking the time to respond and for the info. Juvela.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for taking the trouble to respond Sam. Appreciate your thoughts and recommendations.😀👍
 
I think you'd probably get the frame away on Marketplace quite quickly at 80-100 quid. As said above the parts are pretty low end, perhaps donate them to a bicycle recycling? They're always happy to get bits and pieces.

Evening all, I'm new here too. I would like some help with identifying a bike frame badged as a Claud Butler, the serial number on the BB shell is (I think!) 98758, photo attached. I've tried to make sense of it via the kilgariff site info sheets but it doesn't make much sense to me.
Any input gratefully appreciated, not interested in value but it building a bike for a L'Eroica event so the date of manufacture is important. Thanks.

Afternoon. I took out the front fork today and the serial number is 98758 as above; any thoughts? It seems too good (as in condition) to be that old. Thanks.

Is that really the going rate for a CB Cresta frame theses days?
If so the one I have and had pencilled in to be a station bike maybe be due more respect!
