Criterium all ready for Eroica

[Critical]

Ridden it a couple of times to work this week so will give it another clean at the weeknd but just about ready for Eroica. New Carlton decals applied on the cranks and brakes.

Looks a great steed for the Eroica. I'm hoping to get down at some point, although I notice the entries for the rides are full, which, to be honest I'm happy at as otherwise I'd have entered on my butcher's bike Pashley. Even the short route would be a crippler on it, it weighs a ton and is a touch too small for me. Here's to good weather!

Nice work sir.

Ta! Had the decals made up by Cyclomondo and the brake one by a friend on the Carlton Facebook group.

 

[Spokesmann]

Great work, there will be some cracking rides out there proudly displaying the Carlton head badge.

Bit more cleaning on the cranks and buff up here and there....next clean Eroica on Saturday

Lovely looking bike, love the colour, have you had it resprayed or is it original?

 

[mikeymustard]

That's blooming gorgeous that is!

@gareth01244 it was restored last year and resprayed using Ford crystal green metallic which is just about spot on to the original Fern Green, colour changes a little in different light

Yes that is a good match, I thought you had found the original colour. Looks much better on your bike than on a cortina!

 

[gareth01244]

Does look good and period correct,i do have a soft spot for the cortina, that looks pretty good as well.
I'm going to be at Eroica on the Sunday so will keep an eye out for you.
Enjoy the weekend
