Old Carlton

just picked up a Carlton Pro-Am. Looking forward to doing something with it. Any suggestions? ;-)
Can't post any pics yet because I have only just registered.

Saddle aside it looks almost like it has just left the shop . Did you find a frame number?

What does Pro Am mean ?

Professional / Amateur ?

I had one exactly the same, shouldn't have sold it really.

It was, the most comfortable bike that I've ridden.

Unfortunately the back wheel has 2 broken spokes and is very "not true", so is going to need some work.

But overall, not bad. After xmas I'll hopefully sort it 😁
