Folks, I have bee doing a job for a guy at work making one good bike from two, which has left me with a Claud Butler Fuselage.
It looks like this one:
http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... 4.jpg.html
The catalogue linked above is 1995, but I guess the one I have in hand is 1996 or 1997, as it's ahead and vee brake. It is badged as a "Spectre", and is oversize aluminium, whereas the 1995 spectre from the archive is 653. Needless to say it was a pretty light machine when built.
I am offering the fuselage, so the ally frame, the chromed steel fork, the decent and smooth headset, the stem, and a zoom handlebar. Oh and the seatpost, seat clamp and a saddle.
Add your own groupset, and you're rolling. Oh the wheels are compulsory included too.
So:
Frame, 14" c to c, 16" c to top. Polished ally, though plenty of white oxide worms under the lacquer. Polish it for the rest of your life or live with it.
TT is 21.5 C to C
34.9 f/mech
31.6 s/post
Stem is 110.
Wheels are Vuelta Rock 19 rims on shimano FH-RM40 quick release hubs. They are filthy and need a clean.
Fited tyres are:
f/ conti 1.3 avenue semi slick
r/ Panarace Pasela tour guard 1.25
Both have slime tubes fitted and I have fitted new valve cores.
Filth and slicks indicates a previous life as a commuter.
Would make a great commuter, pub bike, or actually a nice modest mountain bike
Collection only from SE London/ NW Kent (DA5 postal area) ONLY
Photobucket is jiggered so pics are an issue. Can probably email some if you need.
