Re: 1949 Claud Butler Olympic Path #931600E (Stars & Stripes)
I opted restore as ive been riding my Claud for a few years now and its a fine bike to ride.
Certainly its been through the wars but mechanically when i got it was pretty much as new looked after condition, with a few exceptions. Faded paint, horribly damaged decals, but it is a British bike and I also like it for that. Especially in this day and age of disposable BSO's
I've no time and too many other projects, but I'd like to see claud butlers restored as much as possible. And theres a lot of period dramas out there , so i reckon the museums will be ok
