I am on the lookout for something just like that. What size are your tyres. ?

I remember in the late 70's early 80's to get that sort of bike was just sheer luxury !!

To answer both questions.Yes this one is part of my Carlton Collection .Apart from the brakes and rims the bike is as I bought it,for the grand price of £50.
This bike had been raced by the pervious owner,hence it came fitted with tubs.
It rides very well and is a something of talking point at cafes.Some younger riders have never seen down tube shifters.

Rather nice. There's something about old race bikes I do like a lot
