Greetings CR Members..
My first post here, but been watching conversations carefully. I recently acquired a nice Claud Butler New Allrounder frameset with classic bi-laminate construction (mentioned recently on CR). Maybe a little greedy with my share of the market here, but I'm looking to purchase a nearly identical frameset, or full bike. Currently one on ebay UK, but trying to avoid 300 gbp for a beat-up frame. It will be re-painted, so poor condition may be preferable to keep the price down.
Looking for 55 to 58 cm.
Here's the one I currently own:

Also willing to consider other fancy lug, 531 framesets with similar relaxed geometry. I realize this may be blasphemy to some, but it will NOT be restored period correct, if this a concern. Still a classy project though. Sorry.
Looking forward to any leads or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
