Dating for Carlton Corsa

  • Hi guys,

    The code on my carlton corsa is NE 4229704.

    Location is on the rear of the seat tube near the post clamp. Anyone know roughly the year or where i can get info on it's year of manufacture.

    Cheers

  • I thought this was going to be an offer of a bike for a date lame

  • Mate you wouldn't want a date with this one just yet, i've stripped her down, and she's kinda ungly at the moment... on seconds thoughts....

  • one minute of googling: http://www.carltoncycles.me.uk/details/dating.htm
    Get some practise! ;-)

  • Ah nicely presented provenrad. Good skills. Thanks alot for that. I think that lays it to rest.

    NE 4229704 : Nottingham in April 1974. I missed this on that site so thanks for pointing it out.

    Cheers

  • Ahh.. sorry for the curt response was dashing out. - I posted the link then realised it didn't have the answer, but had a link to some catalogues etc. at bulgier.net.
    p.s. Wheres the pics?

  • No problem provenrad, i did look, but obviously not hard enough!! Here's a pic of the frame. It was a tough decision wether to strip it or not. But i like things to be just right so i went for a strip and respray. I'm taking a lot of time over the paint job and will hopefully get a classy colour. The original gold orange is well nice!!

    Have you completed your Carlton rebuild? If you still have the frame unstripped, are you interested in swapping for a similar size red Carlton Grand Prix frame?
