OK, I have not entered this for a while so might as well jump in.
Here is my refurbished Carlton Constellation, c1962. I have tried to keep as much original on this bike as possible, ie the Acylichrome paint finish as well as most of the fittings and components, but at the same time add my own touch to it with the red accessories and so on. The machine is not mint and carries its battle scars proudly, it has however been stripped, rebuilt and adjusted for everyday riding - its not a wall hanger - I don't think the supports would take the weight!
The build and details can be found here:
