My 1975 Carlton Criterium out for a blast this morning...

Perfect backdrop for the bike Spokesmann.

A taster of what will be coming to a road and track next spring.

Cracking lug work stevevw. Just joined and slowly working my way through the Vintage thread. I could spend all day on here....... if I was allowed to! Look forward to seeing the end result

How old does a bike have to be tagged as vintage?

I think it's pre 1987. That's the date I've seen quoted for vintage bike races on the continent but I think they'll accept anything with DT levers and pedals that have clips and straps.

Was getting all nostalgic seeing your stable of fine Carltons. It took me back to my teens when I had a lilac framed Continental

I have a Lilac (mauve)framed Corsa. Gorgeous understated shade.

I just looked up "Vintage" and got this "denoting something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind."
So according to this definition could be milliseconds ago and still be vintage if of course it is high quality.
This is my latest vintage bike born last year.

Holy cow ... what's that?
Stunning, simply stunning.

Here's the 1982 Holdsworth purchased from the lovely @biggs682 which now has had genuine 1980s Randonneur bars fitted and is still a work-in-progress jobby .... yes, I know the brake cables need cutting and crimping ....
Photo taken last Saturday morning whilst riding back up to London after a particularly moist FNRttC ..... I love this bike .....

 

[biggs682]

@Fab Foodie what have you done with the bars & levers ???

Posted elswhere but not in this thread, my Carlton Super Course from June 1980. Nice ride but the gearing can be restrictive in some of the hillier routes around here.
