An Arius saddle for sale on the Dutch equivalent of gumtree.

http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/fietsen...ce270f44503df9f8598c624&previousPage=lr&pos=2

Nothing exceptional, except it is labelled "The Carlton collection". I have no idea if this was a special for Carlton bikes or....something else again but thought I would flag it up just in case.

Dave Lloyd frame, a bit scrappy and too small for me but I have a soft spot for the seat stay wrapover style

Nice looking geometry too.

I bought this, as I have a rather expensive soft spot for Dave Lloyd frames.

Lots of stuck stuff to deal with first, then I have to figure out what I'm going to do with it.

First Sign up to the site, Then you can use their email system to contact the seller, I use google translate and cut and paste into the message, my Dutch is dreadful but I have not had any problems communicating this way. Sellers will work out you are English and often switch language.

Sellers generally accept a bank transfer, (PayPal is not popular) so it is just a question of the seller working out the postage, sending you their account details and you transferring the whole amount.

I have not bought anything from this seller but they are well established. If you have any problems let me know and I will see if I can help.

This one in Victoria, Australia ... wasn't aware that 60s vintage Carltons had rear mech hangers ... always learning?

That frame has the later shot in seat stay design. The earlier "Victor" design started about 1965 and also had a mech hanger.
