John's Claud Butler

This is John's Claud Butler. I'm trying to get it back on the road again because John's had this bike for a long time and it has sentimental value.

John stopped riding after it developed an alarming wobble.  The cause - a loose headset.  After taking it apart, it was clear the bearings had failed.  The cups are not good either, so for starters a new headset will be needed.

I'll also work on the drivetrain.  A new chain, good clean and new cabling may be enough, but the cassette looks worn too.  New brake pads and cabling also.

The hubs are grinding so they need stripping and re-building, possibly with new bearings.  The tyres have perished and will need replacing.

I'll see what can be done in the next couple of weeks.
