Nice bike, I've got a Carlton from the same year. Couple of questions -
What size seatpost did you use ?
Is the headset standard 1" threaded ? I know Carlton and later Raleigh used a non standard tpi at various times
I had problems with the seatpost, originally thought it needed a 26mm, hard to find...got the seattube reamed and a 26.4 was fine for it.
Headset is standard 1". Didn't know that there were any other sizes apart from 1" and 1 1/8", maybe I'm wrong though.
Seen a few Carltons on the streets recently, one almost identical to mine on Brick Lane a few months ago, racing green red decals. I locked up on the same post so they could spend some quality time together ;)
