Geoffrey Butler
So I wander into one of my LBS hunting grounds yesterday and casually ask if there is interesting that has come by.
The owner, without saying a word, goes into the back room and comes out with a Geoffrey Butler over his shoulder - my size.
It will need repainting ( I think) - Universal Mod. 68 brake calipers and levers, TTT stem and bars, Campy record derailleurs, cranks, pedals and two bolt seatpost.
Two wheels - high flange campy hubs and Fiamme rims.
I think the rims are done, and I really don't need any more high flange hubs ( can't believe I said that!).
My jaw hit the floor and the owner stands with a grin on his face a mile wide - some guy came in and used it as part of the trade in and payment for a mountain bike!?
Trying to figure out what to pay him for this - needs a good cleaning - probably paint - I'm thinking around $150 - anyone???
If anyone knows some history I'd appreciate it - CR website is silent on 'em.
However, I have a Claud Butler, so I think adding a Geoffrey Butler would be a neat twist. Also, if I paint it anyone know if there is any chance of getting transfers for it??
