Best advice it take the parts you need with you and ride it back. I've ridden a bike wheeling a newly acquired one alongside (with 2 flats) and it wasn't that easy. I've also ridden 5 miles with a 531 F+F over my shoulder, the GP will be quite heavy and you'll need lots of padding (and rest stops) if you carry it. Nice bike, but not worth breaking your neck over.

It's a Criterium from 1979-1981. 25.5in frame as you say, with alloy QR 27in wheels, Suntour gears and probably 531 tubing. Looks worth £50 to me!

You've got every cyclist's sympathy! Most of us have got horror stories of accidents or near misses caused by thoughtless and ignorant motorists. Best get your girlfriend checked out by the medics even if she feels fine though.

Joe1983, without wishing to get caught in the moral cross-fire, where did you get your Brooks from in the end?

So, did you go for the Gumtree Carlton? Did you find out any more details about it?
-
Raleigh bought Carlton in 1960, with increasing use of Raleigh components on Carlton frames through the '60s & '70s.
-
From memory, the Grand Prix is either 1980 or early 1981 and red. Reasonable cosmetic condition and dead straight with zero damage.

You could probably use my 21.5 inch Carlton Grand Prix frame which is too small for me. Interested?

PM'd for rear wheel from Claud Bulter.
Daem, nice looking Carlton Ten frame. Could you PM me high res pics of the seat tube & down tube decals to use on my frame please?
