Hi,
Here for sale is my fully restored full chrome Carlton porteur bicycle. It has just returned back from a cycling exhibition and I do not have anywhere left to store it over the winter. It pains me to sell it but I don't really want to have to pay for it to go back into storage. Since the bike was built is has only covered a handful of miles. For the rest of its life is has been featured in several cycling & design exhibitions around the UK.
All the parts used to build the bike were either brand new, new old stock or manufactured specifically for this bike. A lot of hours has gone into researching and building this bike. It would make the perfect tweed run machine or weekend ride!
