Retro Newbie
Hi

I recently picked up an old Carlton at auction but I am having trouble working out the model. Can anyone on here help me out?

Thank in advance

Carlton recycled their names for years which is confusing, and most of them began with a "C"..... On first glance it look like a Criterium from years ago. Forks look wrong though? Is there a fame number on it... Rear dropout. Any pics of the seat stays.
 
I have been looking on websites for a couple of days but have found myself going round in circles with the various names!

I have had a good look all over and can’t find a frame number which is a pain. I hope these pictures help.

Re:

Paint scheme lugs and fork crown match that of the 1973 ish Raleigh gran sport. Considering they were building Carlton’s at this point it’s probably a good indication of age at least
