Claud Butler Legend 19 inch Brushed Aluminium Frame

Claud Butler Legend 19 inch Unisex Frame 

in Brushed Aluminium

Not a classic vintage bike . However - 

I built this bike on special request from a customer, who on my completion of the build - didn't want the bike - his loss and someone else's gain

The frame is in a striking Brushed Aluminium with a clear lacquered finish.

I built the bike as follows-

New StrongLight Chainwheel 

New 700c Wheels with new Schwarbe Tyres 

8 speed gears , the rear Cog has a good range 11 to 32 tooth 

New Rear Rack with detachable light.

New Handlebars with stem Levers and Trigger gear change 

New Chain and Bottom Bracket , new Mudguards and all new cables inner and outer. 

A long seat pin means this bike will feel comfortable even if you are 6'4'' down to 5'6'' 

Adjustable Stem 

8 Speed 11 to 32 tooth
