I personally prefer narrow wheels.

That above post was before I saw your post.

I'll have a quick look at those. Thanks.

Those look nice, thanks. I'll take them into consideration.

Here is just a very brief update. I have assembled my bike with parts just temporarily borrowed from bits lying around at my grandfather's house, so the bike is "compete". I will slowly replace the parts with the originals. Here's a pic:

What do ya think?

The mechs, seat post and handlebar stem are original. The handlebars are actually off of a 1978/9 Corsair, these may stay on the bike.

Also, it is a dream to ride, feels great. ATM weighs around 21/2 pounds (10 kg)

They have a lovely 'feel' don't they

Very nice

Can anyone help me out with this? I'm sure it's a very simple question, but, what is the part called that fixes a pump to a frame. On the Carlton it is supposed to have a cup like attachment to secure the pump between the "cup attachment"and the bottom of the down tube.

I would call it a cycle pump retaining clip . My Carlton has or should have two screw on clips mounted on the seat tube ,one has broken.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I believe that this is the kind of part I'm looking for (not necessarily this particular brand)

I was just about to say have a look on the thread Found this in my Mum's garage. There is a picture of a seat post with one of those clips attached to it .

Looking very today. I would attend to those tyres though.
