Hi Guys

I have only recently started cycling again after a 30 year break (I was 17). I have bought myself a new road bike and am managing about 30 miles every weekend and recently completed the Manchester to Blackpool overnighter. Today I have bought a 1976 Carlton Corsa like my first bike and intend to restore it to its former glory. I am sure I will have lots of questions for you guys over the coming weeks.

Hi montyboy, you're same age as me, only difference I kept with the cruel mistress that is cycling.

However, glad to see that she's got her claws back into you.....Welcome back to the cycling fold!

 

[montyboy]

Thanks for the welcome.

Is that it then......just me and you?

Good for you Monty!

If the Carlton gives you half the pleasure my old "steeler" gives me, you'll be a happy man for sure.

Bonne route!
