I still have my Claud Butler frame that was built for me at the CB workshop in Clapham, London UK just across the main road from my grandparents home in St. Lukes Avenue. About 1955 when I passed my 11+ exams. I was measured in the shop and frame built to size. Later when outgrown, and CB had closed down, bits were transferred to a George W Stratton frame which I still have.
A problem was the CB tubes being made from slightly larger inner diameter tubing so the head ball bearing was "non standard"? size and I have not been able to find replacements........what do you use?
