Just picked up a track frame - Awful powdercoat with decals - Badged up as a 531 carlton.
Track ends look like the ones on the raleigh team ones - With the drilled holes around the edge. Appears to be chrome under the powder. Bottom bracket shell has the 'cc' cutout that I have seen on other team Raleighs aswell. Can't locate serial number. Found a picture: Cutout/ends same as this:
(Mine doesen't have the twin plate fork)
So - I know carlton and raleigh were one and the same at some point - Did they just re-badge/paint the same frames? Or might this have been not a carlton originally.
