1960 I believe...

Thanks... I was just trying to work out if the Carlton Corsa I had in the early 60s was a 'genuine' Carlton. I think it must have been, because it was a wreck when I got it, so I figure it must have been a pre-1960 build. I rode that bike for miles and never had a problem of any sort with it.

Bought circa 1964. I'd say it was more than four years old, wouldn't you? (OR it had a very hard life before I got it!)

1960 After the long lay off for the workforce from the fire on Dock Road in 59 Carlton’s were truly hand built at Dock Road My Dad was working on a building site building a new school in Kilton when someone asked him to call in at Woods Saw Mill (Carlton’s new Factory on Eastgate) if he wanted his old job back which he did Carlton overstretched it’s self the factory was massive by Dock Road standards Raleigh took over the rest is history 22 years later TI closed it down

I was tempted by this Vitus but its a bit too old fashioned for my taste

Ohhh an X1. They are, apparently, much sought after in Japan. I guess that, like sea urchins, they are an acquired taste.

I post this mainly for interest as it's rather pricey. A superb Paris 40's lugless frame which has been refurbished by Bob Jackson;

Yes could have been tempted myself if the frame wasn’t so small, anyway picked up another very nice bike, from a well know builder, for a snip recently. Hey ho

I've bought secondhand cars for less than that! However, put it in context, how much would Bob Jackson's have charged for doing the frame restoration? I doubt you could get the work done for much less than it sold for. Most steel bikes are financially uneconomic to restore commercially, because the bike will be worth less than the cost of the work. This one is an exception to the rule.

Standard Cinelli clamp size was 26.4mm!

 

[woodbutcher]

Standard Cinelli clamp size was 26.4mm!

true but l have enough trouble measuring one whole mm never mind less than half a mm even with digital callipers !

 

[rogerzilla]

It's not compatible with the more common 26.0 bars unless you shim it. Cinelli have changed to 26.0 now but all the "classic" Cinelli stuff is 26.4mm. Omly they used that size AFAIK.

 

[woodbutcher]

Thats good to know, lm sure you are right about Cinelli being the sole user of the size . I dont know when they changed but lm going to go to my workshop today and (CAREFULLY) measure all of the Cinelli stuff l have .
