Lagoon Blue color has a great deal of yellow mixed into the color. It's not just a very light blue. I don't have the numbers in front of me but when i computed the color using a digital camera and linear algebra on the RGB photographed values, I came up with something like 20% yellow color. I...

This is something like a 1980 usa-sold Raleigh Grand Prix (silver/blue era). I checked the catalogs and up through 1979 they used IC french DP+ vagner fork crowns, but this one has a cheap stamped & welded fork crown - I have one of these same forks in my garage - someone sent it to me as a...

It is most definitely NOT a Raleigh, because the seat stay caps do not come close enough to the top tube to qualify. The seat stay caps terminate in the middle of the seat tube, and this is something that Raleigh/Carlton never built. I own 25 Carlton/Raleigh bicycles, all with 531 tubing...

I am bringing a similar 1950 carlton flyer back to life. It was in a horrible front-end collision. Here are my photos of the original paint. The coolest thing about these bikes is that they had the word "Flyer" embedded in the seat tube decal. It's the only bike I've ever seen to put the...

The problem is, unlike almost ALL other badges, most of the 80th anniversary badge is simply silk-screened onto smooth metal. There is a raised emblem in the middle for the Raleigh Heron and the Raleigh lettering, but there are NO raised edges for the rest of the design (concentric circles...

Re: JR Anderson at Velocals has a REALLY good decal like your head badge. Or you could possibly mail your head badge to him so he could scale the decal to fit exactly on the badge. This is the Raleigh 80th Anniversary Badge, used 1968-1970 on certain models. I own one of these badges and...

Re: Re: The 1972 White & Blue Gran Sport was one of the 2 Raleighs I lusted after when I first got the catalog as a 10-year old, in November 1972. :-) The other model is the International (chartreuse).

Re: The 1971 Carlton Competition had the same parts as a Gransport (or Peugeot PX-10), just with maes bars and tubular rims and tires. The tubulars were either AVA "washer" rims (no eyelets - raw aluminum) or NISI evian "washer" rims (as found on my 1973 competition). If you can find mavic...

Re: I have a 1950 flyer which is almost the same model. I might have captured a set of super python photos somewhere, I will look The word "SUPER PYTHON" appears beneath the carlton CC badge on the seat tube. Here is my flyer (before I had the top tube replaced & frame damage repaired)...

Re: I have this exact frameset; In the USA in 1969 it was badged as a "Raleigh Competition" and came in all-black or all-british-racing-green with chromed Nervex lugs. The fork has a Davis crown (I had mine rechromed) and is pretty light (790gm for my 10.5" steerer fork/24.5" fork). As you...

Never fear, been there, done that. Check out my 1977 Carlton Pro restoration ... paint on a silver, white, or black bike is EASY to fix ... http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~gillies/raleigh/ ... ton77.html As for the gears, you should buy some NOS suntour barcons on ebay, it will make the bike a lot...

Some identification information The bottom bracket cable routing is indeed unusual, and I believe its from a repaint - NOT original. Someone has disassembled a campagnolo bottom bracket routing clip and brazed it onto your bottom bracket. Those are NOT campagnolo BB routing braze-ons, it's a...

SR Royal ESL Stem You can also buy an SR Royal ESL (Extra Super Light) Stem. It's the same thing, although it will say "SR" rather than "Suntour" (That's ok the company today is called, "SR/Suntour"), you can find the pictures on equusbicycle website (I cannot post the URL here, sorry) in the...
