Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

  • Unless you want to put it up on Fixed Gear Gallery with Velocity Deep V rims, it's not worth it.

  • It's definitely an Alfie Noakes of yorkshire, or a Harry Monk.

    Judging by the colour i'd say its more likely a Ray Trumpton

  • Bod.
    So good he only needed one name.

  • It's a Carlton from the 1970s. With those wrapover stays and Crespera lugs it can't be anything else.

    Most Carltons of that era were built with TI Truwel tubing but some Carltons were of Reynolds 531 and a small proportion of the high end models were hand built. This one was a factory-built frame - Carlton were making about 2,500 frames a week back in the day.

  • cheers for the info guys.the frame isnt actually that heavy

  • cheers for the info guys.the frame isnt actually that heavy

    Tru-Wel tube was a fairly light high tensile steel, better than ordinary steel tube but not considered quite as good as 531. There were several versions of Tru-Wel including double butted chrome molybdenum steel. Yours is probably 201, a high tensile tube, but not seamless.

    I think this model is similar to yours: http://www.bikebrothers.co.uk/carltonten.htm

    Carlton may have been a factory producer but they always made fairly decent stuff.

  • It's a Ralnago

    Ask Hael to confirm

  • ah cheers wheelnut, that looks near on exactly the same,

  • Wheelnut is right. It's a Carlton.

  • alfie nooks,harry monk ,and ray trumpton wtf?

  • Harry Monk - little-known but respected framebuilder, apparently a bit of a slippery character to deal with though, and had the messiest workshop ever.

  • Bicycle here
    What make/model could it be?
    Not thinking of buying it but it on sale on our local Ebay substitute for 50 quid. Possibly stolen? What do you guys (and gals) think?

  • Seems to be similar alright..
    Whats the consensus on these? Hipsteresque? Quality?

  • If you're asking people to agree on something then you're in the wrong place.

  • Bicycle here

    It's for people who fly these.

  • If you're asking people to agree on something then you're in the wrong place.

    Nope, just fucking asking their opinions on the bike. Was curious about the bike.
    No intentions to buy it anyway, as it`s probably stolen.

  • it has bar ends and a bell . . . need i say more?

  • Hi, I acquired these a while ago on a bike I bought and though I might use them on the Ribble tt I bought when it's in it's geared incarnation. Can anyone tell me what model they are, or more importantly what speed they are? I need to get a compatible rear mech and thought some of the ones hilary has for sale might do - but I'm pretty clueless on this stuff.


  • Look like 8 speed to me, no idea what model.

  • That rings a bell as I think the bike was of that era. Only thing that threw me was the left hand lever has eight 'clicks' and the right eleven, if that makes sense

    Ta

  • Can you not just count the number of shifts they make? Thread a cable through to test if you find that helps.

  • Ah. I see you have!

    LH shifter will be non-indexed. Not sure why the other has 11 clicks though...

  • Unless you've got them mixed up? The 8 clicks one could be a RH shifter for a 9-speed set-up (rear), with the 11 clicks one being the non-indexed LH shifter (front)?

  • No thats what I thought, they came from Italy so don't know if the Euro brigade do it the opposite way round?
