Classic 1970s 60cm CLAUD BUTLER MAJESTIC
Reynolds 531cs
Bought as a project (original photos when in blue) and restored but hardly used since and it’s gone a bit rusty now.
I was going to replace the bar tape too as I didn’t like the colour I’d chosen but did half the job.
Very good Gator Skin Ultra Sport tyres.
Points to note:
– One original rim, one replacement due to previously unseen crack found when rebuilding. Stainless spokes.
– Original chainrings were 118 BCD, inner (39T) was badly worn and I couldn’t find a new one quickly so replaced the whole chainset.
Previous owner must never have used the outer so find the right inner and it’s original.
– Rear mech was too hard to fix quickly so replaced with SRAM as in pictures.
– Bottom bracket (SAKAE) shells replaced with equivalent quality items. Spindle is v. good original.
– Everything else rebuilt, with new BBs, cables etc. as required.
All old spares left/not used included so full original restoration is possible.
In the envelope is a period “Majestic” transfer I bought but never got around to attaching.
The pump is new but bought especially to look the part and fit the frame.
It went very well but I’m having a clear out, Mrs says 3 bikes is enough and my Pinarello is now my only road bike.
Prefer collection but can ship if buyer arranges courier.
