Carlton Corsa Strada

[Baron von Zach]

I literally pulled it from a scrap metal merchant's lorry, whom I beforehand overtook in a spectacularly Sweeneyesque maneuvre and subsequently ran off the road. "But that'll be a tenner!" was his rather unreasonable demand before he allowed me access.

Have you cleaned it or did they before disposing of it ?

I think the repair could also be beyond that of a normal human being !


Nice find .

 

[Baron von Zach]

Sadly I had to do the cleaning.




And the repairing, new tyring, new chaining, new handlebarwrapping, new bowdencabling, etc, etc.






Rides like a dream now.

Oh, and most of all, I had to do the spoke reflector into neighbour's garden hurling.
None of that hideous shoot will ever remain on my bicycles.
