Sorry, been away from the site for a while. Well it’s on the keepers list but tbh I’ve not been riding (or building) much since Covid gave me a kicking last September

Those windows in the lugs have me stumped, sorry

1997 Claud Butler Cape Wrath as has already been identified.

I’ve seen the hubs occasionally appear on eBay. But they weren’t cheap

Lovely find. If you contact @gil_m at Retrodecals, he can run you off a full set of stickers that I drew up a few years ago. Only check the colours as I had mine made up for the black one. You can check the colours against my teal version in my bio link below (view your phone/tablet in...

Whatever… it’s definitely not a Claud. The only one of the mid 90’s Ali frames they sold with square tubing was the top end Antaeus ‘93-‘95 and that’s not one of them.

Ignoring the fact it clearly has the remnants of “RALEIGH” on the down tube 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

Correct

New Allrounder was plain gauged 531, Avant Coureur had the double butted

July ‘53 is correct. And I’m pretty sure it’s a New Allrounder. The 1953 AC didn’t have fluted tops on the seat stays (That year they were partially wrapped over the top tube) and would have had a more expensive fork crown.

Who? What? Where? How? I’ve just woken up from a deep sleep (Long covid induced) You lot are close… but no cigar. It’s a Super Vello not a coronation although tbh it’s pretty much the same beastie, apart from they made the Coronation cheaper by switching out the 531 and they also produced a...

I’ll have to keep an eye out for one of those. Definitely need one in the collection

Wow @lincs90smtb where did you find that?

I’ve thought about it, but finding that 2 day Scottish Summer window could be a challenge. Then again I could always pop into uncle @Jamiedyer for a coffee…

I had one these, fun but you don't have to worry about riding over roots, this one just crushes them!

Nice original 1996 Looks like the only things missing are the Tioga bar ends & Tioga water bottle/cage

Pictures Pictures Pictures 😁

Ermmm…. A clunker? I think if anyone turns a 1977 rare as rocking horse shit Claud Butler Speedway into clunker they might just deserve having their f**king neck broken when they ride that lightweight tubbing off-road. Just saying… Ps why haven’t I bought it? Price tag is too much for what...

I’ve drunk a lot of whiskey since then! 🤣🤣
