Nice

I'd say it was quite a late one but has been repainted (obvs) there's no way that's a Carlton paint job.

ok thanks
yes it was refurb by Bob Jackson

Maybe @Spokesmann could help out on this.
Nice bike.
Love the Campag? L/F hubs.

Isn't G about 1970? The full rear triangle in chrome is a bit of a mystery, maybe a full chrome bike with later paint over some corrosion? Sort of looks like a Raleigh / Carlton super course ish... but I think that was an export. Maybe some Vcc catalogue browsing might show something.

Looks very like my Carlton Criterium 1973 - same lugs, all chrome but with factory paint over on mine. I'll check the serial number this weekend...

humm just a thought if a Carlton critrerium wonder why its got the centre pull brake mount, see photo

A lot of bikes had centre pull brakes back in the day. Even top end racing bikes.

Centre pulls were de rigueur. Marked you out as a man to be reckoned with, a man of style and substance.

G prefix on the number would date this to 1959.

Even better then a Dock Road built Carlton.
