This lovely vinatage frame is a Claud Butler Coureur the last of which were built in 1967. The curved arch in upper rear fork/brake caliper stay aren't found on other lighweight bikes of this period.  It is Reynolds 531 butted tubing  and  with the fitments you see on the frame. It's very lightweight, with really slender rear forks. It has very nice as Nervex lugs.

AVAILABLE TO COLLECT OR SENT BY COURIER

Size is 23.5 inches from centreline of bottom bracket to the top of the top  tube where it meets the seat tube .

Cross bar centre to centre 22.5 inches 

It accepts 27" or 700c wheels

Rear dropouts are 120mm

It includes the a bolt on for cabling a vintage front mech & Suntour power shifters

The front brake cable hanger will be removed

I bought it 5 years ago as a complete bike with a 12 speed set up with the intention of rebuilding it.  It's been shot Blasted & powder coated which cost around £110 in all, it looks stunning but there  are a few rough patches and marks from storage. I lined the lugs, applied deacals the decals cost £28,  re greased headset and fiited  a new bottom bracket.  I  haven't got round to  finishing this but do have many of the period parts whch I haven't listed these yet,  but list  for you if you are intereseted: all in very good condition:

Suntour VX long cage mech

Stronglight double crankset

27" vintage Raleigh wheelset

Vintage alloy sidepull brake calipers  and levers

Alloy drop bars and stem  

Headset has been regreased but the frame would benefit from a new one to get the best result. 

All in all I would say this will make a great restoration project and will be a lovely bike when finished!

Please do your own research into the model.
