1970's Carlton build.
- Thread starter playford
- Start date
just wacked the decals on bit tricky but not bad for a first go, still to get lacquered.
lacquer, then new headset to be installed.
thanks for the interest goldie
Bit confused as to what direction to take from here.
I have a set of chrome weinman brake levers and working full set of centre pulls brakes in nice nick and a 27" 5 speed wheelset along with simplex lever and derailleur.
Problem is when I put them up against frame they just dont look right now.
frame looks too modern/clean beside the vintage kit :s
Looks good. These would have had Weinmann CPs.
.put the new headset on today, it didnt come with bearings though, which im not best pleased about so ill have to order some from ebay. Crank arrived and after a load of engine degreaser too all the oil off it its basically as new chrome, will look great.
Half thinking black aero shimano 105's and brakes (depending on drop) and some black mavics, like an updated semi track style but not fixie skidder ish. Maybe a smoother stem like a cinelli 1A style as well.
hopefully it'll just evolve way it needs too, well see what parts turn up too.
