Hi
I've got a 1980 Carlton that's been painted over and decalled with Olmo Competition AND Colnago Super decals - wierd because they look like their from the same decal set..?
Anyway, I think it might be a Pro looking at this guy's lugs http://www.flickr.com/photos/74418119@N00/2476060203/in/set-72157604673051032/ - but would appreciate any other ideas.
Also does anyone have a 1980 Carlton Catalogue link?
Here are some specific photos:

It also has rear rack eyelets suggesting it might not be a Pro though the guy I bought it from said he was told they were brazed on later - I'm not sure because they look pretty neat. No idea about the tubing either. I was told 653 but extremely doubtful about that.. I'm fairly sure there were no 1980s Carltons made in 653 but PLEASE correct me!
Cheers
