The Karma Claud Butler build thread - opinions saught

[J i m s t e r]

Do you have to pay for these bits from the tip or do you just ask too see what has been dumped? I say this because there's one I visit regularly with recycling.

BTW I've just blagged some NOS CB stickers for my Kylami - you are welcome to any I don't use.

Right - jobs to finish

bar tape

27.0mm seatpost.

decals


Ride: that 3ttt stem is super flexy and needs replacing at some point

frame, very nice, gives a good boost going up hill.

my 16 ~ 11t cassette is just right, 16 for going up, 11 for flying down.

Tip stuff - yes, I have to pay, but not much.

I think the Claud Butler frames had their frame number on a sticker which has been removed from that frame. I don't think they used 853, possibly 653. Struggling to remember what they were called though :?

My CB Dalesman was 653 and had its number stamped in the usual place - oh and was a pile of shite to ride.

ID'ing this frame is driving me nuts
