Hi, it's a Carlton Replica based on an Orbit America, both used 531, this has rather nice Cinelli Lugs, very light and smooth ride.
Both factories were in the same area:

Seemed nice to refurbish in a classic Carlton livery as the cycle below :)

thanks, I'm based in South East London / Kent so it is a bit far to check it out in person. depending on the postage costs to and fro (for me), would you consider posting so I could test ride?

If I agreed to this you'd have to pay for packing and carriage in both directions (£50 ) and be responsible for any loss or damage en route or while you had the bike in your care; I think that's pretty impractical from your perspective?
