For sale:
22" Geoffrey Butler frameset in high gloss British Racing Green.
Seat tube = 22" measured c2c.
Top tube = 21.5" c2c.
Head tube = 5.5".
Seat post size = 27.2 mm.
Front OLN = 100 mm
Rear OLN = 130 mm.
Tange headset.
Smooth BB.
No dents or damage but as you can see from the photos, it needs touching up in quite a few places. Unless I keep a bike/frame, I don't touch them up as I prefer the buyer to see exactly what they're getting which is another reason why it is to be collected.
It was stove enamelled about 8 years ago by Argos (Bristol).
Now I know GB didn't make his own frames until much later and this one is either going to be a Roberts or Cliff Shrubb. Personally, I think it's a Shrubb. I'm pretty sure it's a 531 DB.
According to a relative of the old chap who I bought it off, he purchased it new and moaned that they had to go to the other side of the River (Thames) to Croydon to get it !
Has one bottle holder.
I've tried my best to find a frame number but I suspect it's on the BB shell and I'm not removing the paint to find it, I know what it is and unless the new buyer is going to re-paint it, then all will be revealed !
The rear wheel barrel adjusters on the rear stays are straight and adjust freely.
It is collection only from the GL2 area of Gloucestershire.
I know I could probably get more for it on a specialist website but that's not what I want to do with it.
£125. Cash on collection or Bank Transfer.
No dibs please. Causes more problems than it's worth !
I feel it only right to let members know that if it doesn't sell by 2 pm tomorrow, Sunday 16th of May then I will be listing it on eBay with a BIN price of £150. It will still be collection only.
