Finally going to put gears back on my old Carlton and sort it out properly. The decision was prompted by the blue Peracinni bike bought off here and the failure of my cottered cranks. Shame as I have been loving FG riding, but I think its for the best.
Just got to say how sweet the Peracinni was to ride it back from Victoria yesterday - despite being way too big, unadjusted brakes, knackered tires and being pissed on.... loving the mix of campag/dura ace components on a nice frame.
Currently stripping the Carlton for armotex (as close to this as I can get) and contacting H LLOYD CYCLES for the decals. Unfortunately they can't match the original (problem with them being "imichrome"?) so going to get similar type.
