Retro Newbie
I know this is the oft asked question on here, but what can anyone tell me about the age/origin of my Carlton?
Things I know: it has been repainted at some point (as there are a couple of minor dents that would clearly have resulted in a chip, but where the paintwork is sound), possibly professionally by Carlton in the 70s (very even and thorough job, with what I understand to be 70s style decals).
It's pretty light - only very marginally heavier than my '80s Ernie Clements 531 bike
It has Campag dropouts and shifters.
Here are some pics:
