My Carlton 😀

That is where mine was - my mother in laws shed - rusty and unloved. I put it back together and now she is back in all her glory (albeit it some pot, dings and paint chipped but I guess you call it patina.

That is awesome, I did buy it as a frame only from a bike shop in Chester. Yes, I think the third digit is a 7 so that makes it 1977 which first as I was 17 so just right. It rides well and is good looking for an oldy, sadly not like its owner. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I found my old Carlton bike in my mother-in-law's garage and cannot seem to find out what frame type it is. I bought it around 1979/80 but cannot find any details of frame type but I remember adding bits too it, e.g. wheels, pillar, seat, handlebars. It had Suntour ends but I fitted Campag's...
