Bump...that was a nice little catch up.
Made a few changes to the Carlton, new headset, cloth tape, and stripped with a very temporary clear coat... temporary because it chips easy. Oh, and a respray is on the cards.
Recently made contact with a V-CC member who's convinced it was originally built for the Carlton track team in the mid 50's... would be nice, and may explain its oddball features... and with this in mind, a respray to what is thought to be the original colour(s) is due. Plan is to find some more period bits, and get a custom stem made after its sprayed.
