CLAUD BUTLER CYCLES

CLAUD BUTLER—for over 45 years one of the most famous names in bicycles—proudly present their latest range of cycles and frames. For riding to work, touring, road racing and even speedway racing we have a bike or frame to suit you; all built with the experience and craftsmanship that “CLAUD BUTLER” stands for.
Extensive use of REYNOLDS 531 tubing ensures frames that are light, strong, responsive and our choice of components includes famous names such as CAMPAGNOLO, REGINA, CANETTI, SUPER CHAMPION, STARAL and UNIVERSAL. Combine these features with our frame and cycle building know-how, finish with hand sprayed enamels, flamboyants and lustres and we believe you’ll be riding one of the finest cycles around.
From the economy CRESTA cycles to the racing mans’ COLSTAR there’s a CLAUD BUTLER for every pocket and purpose. Browse through the brochure—we think you’ll agree.
