A bit of Carlton maintenance...

They look great and I bet they ride really nicely too.

These Old Carlton's look like the business for a vintage forum!

They certainly do, but where did I say otherwise?

Both nice rides, the green Corsa is only 5-speed, so nice and simple - although wuite a high gearing with a 22-tooth rear sprocket. The mauve Corsa is a nice comfortable ride, light and responsive.

Given my Constellation from 1958 a bit of clean, lube and a new front tube today. Fitted a new NOS Ever Read rear light as well. For those that have not seen this machine it has an all-chrome 531 frame with Lindrick lugs and measures 23" from top of seat tube to centre of BB. One of my most cherished rides...
