Carlton Criterium Restoration

Mac2016

Dirt Disciple
Picked up a 1975 Carlton Criterium in need of some love and have been learning as I go along from others, this hugely helpful forum and lots of RJ Bike Guy youtube vids! Some pics attached before I got started...

Everythig you need is there, some replacement tyres, tubes etc and a good clean and service and this beauty will be complete.

Cool - looking forward to see how this turned out - looks in a similar state to the Corsair that I recently restored. :)
 
Sherlylock, as I mentioned, your Corsair thread was the inspiration and invaluable to me as a complete novice. Mike J, your pics here and elsewhere also hugely helpful. Sites like these are such a great resource. Criterium is complete!
 
Re:

Have had a couple of rides, so it was even shinier prior to these but I'm chuffed with how it has come out. Only thing I will do is change the bar tape to white as I already had this stuff in the garage. Hopefully it hasn't blended into the autumn browns too much!

Trying to attach pics but it is saying the files are too big!
 
Re:

They were taken on a camera nicer than a camera phone. Will have to take some more using my phone when I get the chance.
 
What a ballache it is uploading photos! Hopefully you can see the attached. Not sure how to post the link so the photos appear without clicking onto the link. If anyone could enlighten me I'd appreciate it!
