First post go easy on me only found this site today andhave spent most of it going through all the cracking resto posts
So i have been given a old raleigh road racer he told me it was a raleigh carlton but since looking at some of the pics of carltons they look different
the serial number is WA1004468 which i think is either a worksop 71 or 81 it has all raleigh componenents and 10 speed both quick release wheels with wide flange hubs half chrome forks and is very light
The only trouble i got is the frame has been sprayed in its life with rattle cans so dont know what model it is i will get some pics up tomorrow but if you need detailed pics of certain bits please let me know and i will sort
Once i know what it is i plan to restore the frame to original spec with decals etc and period era components
Many thanks
Mike
