I've owned this bike since 1993, but it has seen no use, except for one ride in 2012, for about 20 years. It has a double butted chromoly frame (similar to 531, I believe, but branded as Butler's own tubeset), 531 forks and a Suntour gearset, with an unusual reverse action front mech. Brakes...

There are a few people interested in the same items. I've replied to the first PMs, so will update when I hear back. JP

Picture of all attached. The rear mech has a few scratches but spring tension is good and jockey wheels move freely. The v brakes have no play in the parallel pads mechanism. The only thing missing is the rubber cover for the cable on the front brake. Makes no difference to application. The...

Re: Ringlé QR has gone now. The v brakes and levers are in pretty good condition - I'll post some pictures when I'm home later. JP

I think it's a 17.5 or thereabouts. I'm 5' 9" and it fitted me perfectly. JP

I'll get some taken and post them (it's in my parents' garage at the moment). JP

Re: hot pursuit I heard you'd moved to France - Totnes is not the same without you and the shop in the centre. As to the bike, I remember Guy was building these around the time I bought a similar spec Sonic from Helmut Berns in London. Guy was renowned as a very hard rider - can't...

It's in my parents' garage at the moment, together with a load of other ancient kit rusting away. Bit of a shame, really, but I only have space for one bike at the moment, and the Sonic has been cannibalised for parts over the years. JP

I had two Sonics in the early 90s. Still have one of them in the garage - Columbus tubing, one piece stem and bars, all fillet brazed. Has very short chainstays, so climbed better than anything I've ridden. Weighs 3.5 lbs, which was super light for an MTB frame back then. JP
