Claud Butler ~ Panache
(apparently one of the last of the line, about a 1987 model, probably part of a batch given to Marlboro from Holdsworth, to know more go here:
www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=423331)
Apparently it’s “Reynolds butted 531 throughout” though the decal says “531 butted frame tubes” and the forks are stickered as 531)
Frame: 2169g
Fork: 712g

A bit different to the usual posted here and not particularly special, but I couldn't find this info anywhere online so I thought I might as well post it here while I had the bike pulled apart, just in case someone is interested.
Specialized Rockhopper 1993, size: 16.5". Frame 2066g, forks 790g. The geometry is: seat tube 39cm (c-c), top tube 52.5cm, head tube 9cm, chain stay 43cm, seat stay 47cm, down tube 61.5cm (measured by me, so +- 1). Head/seat tube angles are 70.5/73 (from the catalogue).

Unknown 53cm (probably French)'90's frame. 1910g. Dimensions match French 501, - 28mm tubes , 14/11 Seatstays - but am not really familiar with that tubing and would have thought it would be a bit heavier
