Hi all. I've got a Red framed Carlton with a white sleeve on the seatpost tube and green stripes on the down tube under the "Carlton" name. The frame has "A4264" stamped on the rear dropout and the serial is 3488831 on the bottom bracket.
According to the Raleigh serials I looked at, the serial suggests about 1965-67, but "A4264" according to the Dating Carltons website makes it 1939 which seems far too old!
The brakes are Weinmann Dynamics and it was, I think, originally a five speed with Sachs huret kit on.
It also had Bluemels mudguards fitted and the rear framework wraps up and around the seat post.
Any idea? The closest I can find is the Dynamic Clubman but that doesn't mention Sachs Huret gears etc, but "simplex".
Either way, the detailing is beautiful on it and I'd like to know what I'm dealing with.
