Claud Butler 531 tourer - classic frame modern groupset!

Retro Newbie
Parting ways with my Touring bike to make space and fund new build. It has seen general town use and a quick trip to Europe (most of which was spent on a train), but nothing heavy. Wheels were hand built for the bike when I built it about 5 years ago. I purchased the bike in its original spec (pictures below) then stripped it and put newer parts on it.

Rides fantastically - a real workhorse. Bit of chipping, scratches and surface rust as to be expected of a frame this age - nothing structural or major though.

Collection from Bristol or I am up in London quite a bit so could arrange a drop off, or I could post it at an extra cost.

Thanks!
