My current winter bike - my ultra reliable Carlton Corsa, 23" frame, built August 1975. Complete with a new Carradice Nelson long flap for all that stuff I need for my daily commute...

as normal spokesmann that looks fantastic

Thanks, apologies about the dirty tyres! I get a lot of brake muck from those blocks and alloy rims...

To good for a winter hack :shock: but there again you do have plenty to choose from! :)

Yes, possibly. It does get cleaned after every ride, esp if the weather is really filthy!
 
Class! All the better for the new bag. I like the way the person who made its name is lovingly added to the labels.

Yes I very much like their kit, I do prefer it to Brooks' stuff.
 
Performed a major service on this bike today, its taken a lot of punishment over the last couple of months with some pretty horrendous weather here.

New brake blocks, new Marathons and tubes and I have lubed and repacked the front and rear hubs with new grease. Performed a good clean up too.

For some strange reason I really like that colour, probably because its so different.

is the rear hub 126 or 130 oln?
