Serviced, cleaned and ready for some summer sun...

Blimey! Looks like one of our stock models in the shop 1975. All it needs is the manual and multipurpose spanner tied in a bag under the saddle.

The difference in size between the chain rings must really confuse the riders of today lol

Very nice example of a period Carlton machine!
I think you got a good few happy miles there in front of you: )

I got a 1950ish Carlton Mixte with Oscar Egg lugs in need of a little TLC. Seeing yours prompts me to get it out & deal with it.
Carltons do not get the recognition they deserve IMO.
Mine is here, if you want to look:
