i am sure someone on the list can date and name the model for us. i am not that up on Claudes.
Quite a stunningly nice frame. Frame number is 512 1252
Seat tube = 62cm C-T Top tube = 59cm C-C
Nicey fancy lug work. Chrome head tube, crown, seat lug & BB shell as well as rear drop outs.
It must be a re spray as there are no transfers on it, but the respray looks to have been done some time ago and it has never been built up since. Nick at H LLoyds does the transfers and I may have some.
Photos are available.
$600 plus post at cost.
