Hi guys please keep an eye out for a battered old red Claud Butler Dalesman in the Brighton area. It had loads of paint missing off the frame, no mudguards and Mavic A319 wheels with a Shimano DH-3N80 dynamo hub on the front. It also had security wheels nuts and an old Specialized Hardlock strapped to the frame (not securing the bike at the time but certainly a hassle to get off).
I intentionally kept it looking tatty but it was much loved. Whilst I was on holiday I lent it to a friend who lives in Kemptown and it was stolen from his shed along with his wife's bike. Why they even bothered to take it is beyond me but please let me know if you see anything, I loved that bike.
Frame serial number is 060451.
Pics below are from before I fitted the new wheels but otherwise should be accurate and show the missing paint and lock.

Certainly distinctive. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you
