Can anybody help. I am trying to indentify a Claude Butler road bike. I
have the frame number -51709 - and it looks like pre Reynolds 531.

Before 1935? Really? Could you post photos somewhere?

the top of the seat tube is a transfer for Prugnat who supplied lugs
and the hedad badge incorporates the five olympic rings. any
knowledgable people out there. Oh dear thats asking for trouble

Perhaps this page will help. All the Claud Butler catalogues are there
with ample illustrations
