Managed to get out on a first proper ride on this bike, earlier this week...

Something to be said for a classic, quality old English machine. You cant beat it.

beautiful! I'm new to the forum and have just restored a Carlton in memory of my late Dad who bought it for my birthday 50 years ago. It was an eBay basket case at £25.It's not as nice(or old) as yours but when I got on it after the resto it was everything I remember from my teens; couldn't stop grinning. Hope you enjoy yours it looks superb!

Should be there in 2018, planning on taking an 18-speed Corsa for the ride and a 1960 Flyer for 'show'...
