Carlton revisited

[Tharg2007]

Ok, here is my old carlton frame as seen in previous post, powder coated, decals applied and lug lined. Currently sorcing parts for the rest of it. Will be a clasic looking roadster style fixie, more pics of parts / build to follow for all you porn lovers

Looks a very nice job Tharg. I have very fond memories of my old Carlton which some scumbag nicked from my shed many years since. I remember the frame as stiff around the bottom bracket, but forgiving over the rough stuff.

Lovely job so far Tharg - where'd you get your frame refinishing done?

 

[Tharg2007]

I got the decals from Nick at lloyds cycles he was really helpful as it took me a while to decide which ones to get, I got the frame powdercoated at GBH off tib street, they also applied my decals and did the lug lining and I have to say its an excellent job.
