Carlton Corsair

[samz]

1978 Carlton Corsair. Lovely condition, good chrome, 531 Reynolds tubing, new rear 27" alloy wheel.
Bought in error, I'm not sure if it's 21" or 22" frame, either way it is to small for me :cry: Needs gears tweaking to change smoothly. Over all a really nice bike!
Swap or PX minimum 23" roadie, WHY?

£100. Based in York.

Had the tape out this morning, still abit unsure It reads 21.5" (top of seat tube to centre of crank).
Top tube reads 22.5"

I'm in Rawcliffe, York.

Cracking bike! Oh for a couple of extra inches Do we all say that?

Mmm, It's bit too big for me, being only five foot six Lovely bike and a bargain.

Thinking it would be the ideal size! :?

Do many old steel adult frames go any smaller than 21"?

19 or 19.5 inch BITD was the Raleigh/Sun/Carlton smallest size, although I think Sun went even smaller, as they did "youths" sizes too.
