  1. Hello all,

    I, as I told you before, am about to buy a Claud Butler Classic. Some
    shops have the 2006 version, others the 2007. I'm quite wondering if
    there's any important difference between them. I have URLs with their
    description:
    2006: http://www.bikesnbits.com/products.php?plid=m1b8s149p987
    2007: http://www.bikesnbits.com/products.php?plid=m1b8s149p1003

    I do like the 2006 color but I will buy the 2007 if it is technically
    superior. In fact, just by looking at their tech specs they seem quite
    the same, except the color, the tyres and the frame but I wonder how
    important is this difference.

    Could someone comment on their differences please?

    Cheers,

    Paulo Matos

    They're more or less the same tyres. I'm not qualified to comment on the
    tubing but both 6061 and 7005 grades are widely used for bike parts; both
    will do the job. This year's model has a plastic chain guard - which will
    help keep your trousers out of the chain at least until it gets broken;
    but I would not have thought that was worth £20.

    I like the black one! But its your bike!

    Can I ask if all the shops you are considering are online, or is the
    same bike available from a shop in Southampton?
    If there is a shop in Southampton, they will make sure the bike is
    working properly for you - adjust the brakes and gears, and help you set
    the saddle to the correct height.

    Quick look at the Cycleworld website - they have the 2006 model for £180.

  4. Thank you all so much...

    Got the bike... the black one (2006 version) for 170£ . Very nice! You
    can know more here:

    This should be considered a success story of this newsgroup! :-D

    Feel more British? You DID get a Claud Butler - classis British name.
    But you will soon feel the need for a Pashley.

    You know it makes sense.
