Hoods arrived (rustines off eBay) so I polished up the levers and popped them on, gave the hoods a coat of sun tan lotion while I was at it, as I'd read that uv light is the enemy of natural rubber! I'll let you know if it's done any good in ten years time :?
I've got a 1978 cycling mag with a nice pic of the current UK road champion on a Carlton Pro, a certain Robert Millar. And yes AFAIK its the same as yours, Carlton didn't allow their name on non Carlton-Raleigh frames.
Here we are...... 1970's Carlton Team Pro in Silver Lustre from Worksop ridden in anger, recognise the frame? Rider is in Glasgow Wheelers kit so it's his "own" bike.
That's great, looks like he's running nuovo record to me. Was up in Hope for a mtb ride yesterday a chap rode past on a blue Carlton, same decals as mine, didn't get chance to stop him.
