A while back Randyjawa had this listed in a "what is it thread". It came back as a Geoffrey Butler and another member from Britain said that it was quite possibly built by Charles Roberts.
Well here it is.
I took the Shimano Arabesque off my SuperCourse, Dia-comp brakes and levers, ??m hubs and rims.
Ride check tomorrow morning.

That's a very good looking bike. I like the tires. I may have to get a set for a cross bike I'm rebuilding. How do you like the ride on those tires?

What a nice ride. The tires are great. It weighs 12.9 kg.
I found that I did not quite get the NDS bottom bracket cup tight enough. The frame is a bit scratched up but it is purty.

It really turned out looking great. What is not evident, in the pictures, is the incredible lug work. No bike ever to come my way has sported such clean work. Truly a work of art, in my opinion...
