Carlton Flyer 1948-50ish.

That is looking really lovely. The colour scheme suites it so well.
Look forward to seeing it all come together.

Re:

Have been building up the bike and trying to sort out the clearcoat which reacted badly to the enamel, so have had to remove it and re-apply it after touching in the decals etc which took a bit of a battering when cleaning it off.
Have had a few glitches-gear cable not long enough, cable clips missing screws, and most annoying of all my Chater Lea oversize axle not the correct length. IT's a 1240 axle which should be right for a double, but it seems I need a 1240-1 axle, as mine only allows room for a single chainring (either that or the frame angles won't allow a double)
Still, here it is for now as it goes...

Re:

Yes, I did the box lining - I cheated though and used 'frog tape' (The yellow/green painters masking tape you can buy) to mask off the lines before brush painting - worked a treat.
 
Well worth the work, my 1960 Flyer is one that I've Flyer 60.jpg steadily brought up to high end finish over a about 3 years...
