Midlife Retro Wizard Sep 6, 2024 #2 1976 Carlton (3rd digit a 6 for 1976). Crespera lugs and wrapover seat stays in tru-Wel so used on a load of different models. Easiest to look in a 1976 catalogue for a bike with no chrome, no lamp boss and no brazed rear brake hanger (for centre pull) and that sort of colour.

bikeworkshop Senior Retro Guru Sep 6, 2024 #3 Looks identical to my first real bike, a 1976 carlton corsa, bought for me in 1979, owned till 99. Except I had pump pegs and lamp mount on the fork. Geometry and lugs look the same.

Midlife Retro Wizard Sep 6, 2024 #4 I had a look at the download here 1976 Raleigh catalogue 1976 Raleigh catalogue www.retrobike.co.uk Nothing matches exactly, however, there was a trend quite a few years back to grind off all brazings and convert to a "fixie" with a rattle can job. Could be one of those...........
