Carlton corsair fixie for sale (although I have all the original parts that came off it so you could transport her back to be a geared bike), I bought this bike with the intention of stripping and rebuilding, but i decided for convenience I would go fixie
So the bike was a bit tired when I got her, She had sat in a shed for a long time by the looks of it. I stripped her down to nothing, cleaned up all the nooks and crannies. replaced all the headset and crank bearings along with vinyl wrapping the frame.
As ive got into the rebuild it looks a lot better as a fixie so that was the route I intended to follow!
Its a 1980 model and of course bears the 531 badge so this will be an absolute treat for someone who wishes to finish her off. The buyer will also have the benefit of a rare middle more saddle
at the moment all that's needed is a chain link and 2 new tubes and your away! in an ideal world id do that and put her up for more however money is limited and at present its going on my winner.
cash on collection please.
any questions please feel free to ask. Collection is from Broadstairs in kent, however I can post at the buyers organisation! ideally id like £100 as is and £120 with the additional parts (dual brake levers, wheels (not sure if they are original) front and rear deurallier, suntour shifters and rear brake caliper)
PS ive added a pic of what the bike looked like when i first got her. poor thing!
