Btw the Carrera posted in the FB group, which I reposted above, and that matches the ones I find over Internet, has a different paint scheme

Which year would this one have been made?

The one you've posted has the original paint scheme- from memory the seat tube cream and purple/burgundy at the top is actually a sticker not paint. The original 531c sticker should be below the front derailleur band at the bottom of the seat tube.

The frame that tom has for sale looks to have had the original sticker taken off the seatube and replaced with a new 531c and shimano stickers...

I reckon 86/7 ish

Same frame as the Raleigh Road Ace. Last of the Carlton badged frames. Quality bike.

Thanks for all the thoughts and input folks, much appreciated. Still sitting at my bro’s in Brentford, I’m swamped with projects and work so this is just gathering dust. T

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
