Great frame fully water blasted and clean before powder coating in Jersey cream. Had bad rattle can job. All straight and smooth. It has an unusual serial number starting with a G can't find any thing on this number, could be bespoke
I think it's a 56cm as I am 5"8 fits me like glove.
Sadly space forces sale

@Spokesmann may be able to help with the serial number.

Just my two cents, but the seat stays don't look like any Carlton I've ever seen- even when they didn't build their wraparound seat stays on 531 models, I've never seen stays that are flush with the seat tube like that, or stays that don't meet the tube right at the top.
To me that suggests it's either not a Carlton, or it's built to order, as you suggest.
Feel free to correct me though, more knowledgeable people.

It had the head badge riveted with old rivits. I could see original colour under it, similar to what I have gone for.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
