Latest list of two frames, books, catalogues and parts for sale to CR members before or after they have been to Ebay. Please ask for photos if you're interested. The Gillott taper tube has been reduced in price. To the US frames typically cost about $120 in a double skinned box but can be sent more cheaply about $100 (single skinned box and surface mail if required). I can deliver some items for a nominal cost to the Cirque.
All items are priced in $. Shipping will be extra charged at cost. Payment can be made in cash with dollars or by money order in Pounds sterling ($1.70 to 1 GBP). American Express Travellers cheques in $ are also fine. I can take PayPal but I have to charge 5% extra to cover what my bank charges me.

CLAUD BUTLER AVANT COUREUR 1948 23 1/2in to top of top tube, 24 1/2in (to
top of seat tube) Claud Butler Avant Coureur road frame dating from 1948 and
with a 23in (ctc) top tube. It is 112mm across the rear ends. It is one of
the earliest examples of Claud Butler¹s bi-laminated construction - the faux
lugs are very beautiful. It needs a complete new paint job - the transfers
are available and I could arrange for this to be done in the UK. The frame
appears to be very sound with no dents or pitting. $125. See pictures at
