Re: 1991 Claud Butler Antaeus 653 Magnum FINISHED That worked well, have had some tyres looking like that in the past with the white bloom appearing to be crumbling rubber and not release agent or any such stuff the explanation made logical sense to me. Carl.

Seen there work before, always of a very high standard. Is it for riding or will it remain a garage queen? Carl.

That looks mint! NOS or a repaint? Carl

Not sure if it’s the camera or the angle but that head angle looks awfully steep, has it been in an accident? Carl

Re: disregard

I saw that, stays suggest either 501 or k2, the horizontal dropout confirm early 501, probably 89 as it has canti brake and not u (which they had in 88), dropouts changed to vertical in 1990. K2 were all vertical dropout.

Looks like a low end Raleigh Mustang/Lizard/Cobra/one of many other later low end bikes frame. Dropouts are the clue here. I don't think I've seen any other maker use that stamped out cheap drop out. Carl.

Re: PM Baz, at his garage (Thurnscoe) he has a Mig welder and I'm sure if you pop in he'll just weld it up for you. Carl.

Pretty sure they are available here: https://h-lloyd-cycles.myshopify.com/co ... igh?page=1 Carl

Re: The blue is a standard ral colour as I had some bars powdercoated for my team frame a few years ago. The yellow is more tricky as it isn't in the ral catalogue. Carl.

You should be fine with one of these. They designed to stuff things falling out the bottom :lol: :lol: :shock: :D Carl

Re: The voyager is lovely, be even better with the original campag on it. The diablo looks nice too. Be careful with the mtrax 350, they are very light and good dailies but a friend has had 2 now and both have cracked at the head tube, so keep checking it. Carl

Re: Have a look at eBay there are 2 '88 couriers on there now with 2 different frame types, one is an earlier lugged and the other a later tigged frame. Carl

Re: 1988 green Muddy Fox... (frame no. CR879200) is it an Araya? XCD4050 is Courier Spec, dia compe U is Courier spec. Those stays are known as 'shot in' stays not fastback. The 88 Explorer had fastback stays. The '88 Courier (white/purple frame), which was tigged (there are some out there...

Chainset is definitely not from the bike, the one you have there is either 300lx or 200gs which were 1990 onwards. I think the rear wheel has been replaced as the hub should be a large flange sansin like the front. 1987 courier didn’t have a group set as such it was still one of the old skool...

There were a few, starting with the base chinook, blue ridge and Cajun, then the ozark and thunder road, followed by the Appalachian and moonshine and finally the avanti and 653 framed white lightnin’ Carl

You need to get yourself a lightweight 531 bike really and a Technium just so you can round out the collection :wink: Carl.

Very nice, nearly jumped on it before sinnerman, just too big for me so I’ll hold out for the 18 or 19” whatever the small one was. Carl.

Re: Yes, please. PM incoming. Carl.

I guess that back in the late 80s cats dominated the club racing scene where now they are one of many competitive 4wd buggies. Carl
