A couple of Critters

Grabbed a chance today to photograph my two Carlton Criteriums. Both from c1975. The bike I have just finished has the white bar tape:
A refurb thread can be found here:

Both bikes have a number of small differences in fixtures and fittings you can see from the pictures. Both have 22.5" frames.

The second of the bikes which I picked up a couple of weeks ago from an owner who owned it from new still needs some seat tube graphics as well as some fork crown decals - Ill be sorting these myself. Overall its nice to see them both together. The 'new' Criterium needs some setting up and adjustments/testing now.

Enjoy the images.

How do you get them so clean and shiny? I'm not sure I'd have the patience, much less the time!

Good wash down first with a mild detergent. Then wipe and clean with a clean dry cloth. Sparing use of wax polish. Autosol for the metal work + elbow grease! :LOL:
