PS the Carlton Clubman was a nice frame, nicely made and above the Grand Prix and looked nice in red
. We had them hanging in our bike shop for about £40 back in 1978.
531 frames as team copies (falcon, Holdsworth, raleigh, carlton) sold for £60-£100 and most other frames made to measure started at about £130.
SBDU 753 panned out at £155 and imported Columbus nudged £200.
Scale that up today and that's a lot of money LOL

Think I paid £40 for my red frame from HO Smith in Doncaster.
I actually wanted a lime green one but they had sold out of them.
I built the whole bike for approx £140. :shock:
The bike of my dreams then was a Raleigh Time Trial special in 753 and a super cool bronze colour. seem to remember the rear wheel almost touched the seat tube it was so short and upright. Very ultra race fashion for those days . This Dave Russell is basically the same design but 10 years later.
Gee I feel old now!
maybe I should keep the DR?

It's Poly Grigio (Grey) Check photos on Ellis briggs site as the sell frames in this colour.
Too dark for silver its a metallic grey. Not sure why I put silver in the advert. :roll: Same colour as my 08 SAAB .
The photo of the full frame sat on wheels gives you a good idea of shade.

Has this gone?
If not I'm very interested, and local.
