Just a few more from the weekend, part concealed cables, rims are a mismatch, hoods are not quite right fit, I can’t get excited with this one sadly. But if his eyes light up when he sees it it will be mission accomplished.

1983 Claud Butler Sierra. Not really a build thread, bike was given to me and just needed a bit of a tidy up, new saddle and bar tape. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/claud-butler-sierra.397694/ Cycled to Ypres and back with 3 friends just before COVID, very nice to ride. More pics in the...

Well it’s not looking too bad so far!

Managed to talk him round, he’s going for honey brown saddle and bar tape. Still having pink cables though.

Early days, he wants pink bar tape and cables. I am not sure I think white or black. He also wanted pink or green saddle, I think a nice brown leather with brown bar tape and brake hoods. The rims and brake blocks are different as well, though hubs are the same.

It’s home!! Now the fun begins,

Put different brake set on her today, CLB ALP competition.

More pictures of her in various trims.

He likes the picture! So safe to pick up and start building.

He’s on holiday but I’ve just sent him some pictures, he’s made up with it.

Complete bar a bit of tinkering to set it up to suit him.

Pedals and cages.

Almost done, but my friend has got the wrong cages for the pedals.

I will try to find it, I’ve only tried the zero alcohol in Cans ( not Cannes).

I’ve tried it, I can’t believe it is.

Well done Guinessisgoodforyou, you had my vote too! By the way is zero alcohol Guiness as good for you?

What a position to be in, too many bikes!

I can’t say it would be my choice, I have sent him a picture to see what he says before I pick it up.

Ready at Mario’s, I hope John likes it.

Spent a day in the hot sun, seemed mostly fitting the Velo Orange mudguards!! I gave in to the lure of Beer. More to follow when sober.
