Carlton or butler frame?

Posted on
  • I have a 531 frame that I have just had resprayed but am unsure if it is a claude butler or a carlton. I used to ride it as a fixed but want to sell it as it is 23" and too big for me.
    I'm sure someone can recognise key features that can identify it.
    cheers

  • That's a Claude Carlton, my dad had one.

  • hmm, fillet brazed. Where's the seatpost clamp? does it require one of those plastic ones that fits over the top?

    Also, did you leave the bottom bracket in while it was resprayed?

  • A claude carlton - are you sure I've never ever heard of that.

    Its a metal seat clamp with an attachment for brake cable - has a red S on nut. Yes the bottom bracket was left in but masked over,

    cheers
