Hi guys I hope that someone can help me,
I was given my Carlton by my dad back in 1978 at that time I had it completely rebuilt but alas the poor old girl died a few years ago with the bottom bracket seizing up it was originally built in the 1950's the spec of this bike was reynolds 531 double-butted tubing.
Unfortunately, I stripped the bike down to the bare bones to rebuild it but in between moving houses all I have left is the bare frame no bottom bracket headset Obviously this is a big problem ,I would like to get it back on the road if anyone has any idea where I can get my hands on these spare parts please let me know
It was originally fitted with a three speed gear Derailer system which we upgraded to 5 speed
I have even lost the original Brooke's leather saddle think they are worth a fortune now?
