Hi guys, another Carlton thread here.
I've been seeking high and low for a Carlton Professional for a while now and an eBay seller in the States says he may split his Raleigh professional MK V (197 which is in excellent original condition.
He's given a ball park figure of $390 for frame and fork, and in today's exchange rate that will be ~ £257.
Would that be a decent price? (no headset - that's $90 extra)
How would you rate this as a purchase? And compared to the Carlton Pro?
Personally I much prefer the look of this to the silver Carlton Pro from 1978 - this blue colour with the gold harks back to Carlton's of previous generations.
Here's the bike:
