Up and running. Looks better in photos than up close. All works, though.

    Thanks Paul! Neither the numbers nor the quality up to your truly impressive fleet. But I only started collecting Carltons three weeks ago - and there's 3 already! Let's think...that's an annual rate of...whoops.

    Nice bike. I think its late 70s '78-80 as they dropped the block script in the '80 catalogue,unless using the old stock up. I had a Giro and my Unc had a Circuit. in '80 I bought a Criterrium and he bought the Corsair.

    I had a bad crash on the criterium, so I bought the corsiar off Unc 6 months old. Then I built my first Claud with car washing money. £220 dicounted from £300 as I had spent so much. Took me a year and Unc still had to chip in. No pics of the Giro unfortunately.

    CTC chap yesterday reckoned from the Reynolds' sticker (which he said were market-specific?) and one he had had that an export-model "Clubman" theoretically for the USA. Possible? Certainly similar to the Raleigh "Clubman" of much the same age. If the original owner worked in the trade and quite local, then I suppose might well have got unsold stock at a discount.

    Anyway, took it for a 30 mile amble yesterday - nowt fell off! And it's comfortable enough. So that's alright then!
