Hello,
I have recently started using my late fathers Carlton Professional for club cycling. It had been kept in storage for the past 25 years and my mother was threatening to throw it out so I decided to get back into cycling again. A few months later I have done over a thousand miles on the bike and have utterly fallen in love with it. However the bike is now starting to show its age and I am at a loss as to what kind of components are currently available.
I would be extremely grateful if someone with a bit more knowledge could point me in the direction for a suitable replacement BB and Chainset (modern day replacement). The large chainring is now extremely worn and there is about 4mm lateral movement at cranks. I am more interested in using this bike for club riding than maintaining it as a vintage show bike. Thanks for your help.
