Frame only main tubes in 531 for the Rapide if memory serves, not the whole frame as it says in the description. Still nice geometry so typical Carlton Pro-Am type ride

Denton cycles 653 with full 105 and not a mudguard eye to be seen
With "suicide shifters" (I think he means downtube levers lol)

Edit: might possibly be made by Mercian

@Spokesmann I thought you said Continentals don't have chromed forks?

[Spokesmann]

Yes, the early Imichrome decalled versions don't (ie from 60s up to early 70s), the one here is from the 74 period and is quite correct.

 

[Spokesmann]

Early 70s version, no chrome forks...

Later 70s period as per your post...

Carlton liked to mix things up a bit.
