Current Projects chat and miscellany

This is my new project. Carlton road bike. Needs lots of work, looks mega ratty but rides like a dream. 531 tubing, Mafac breaks and break components, Milremo stem. Adding campag rear derailleur thanks to unklesouth, nos Williams 52t cottered crank. Will respray Black, keep decals and turquoise bits. rebuild wheels. going to try and keep everything close to original as possible . I'm not sure of the age. been told it is most likely before Raleigh took them over in the 60's, i would love more info about this bike.

See here for working out the age from the frame number :-
