Thanks for the reply's guys. Not my bike in the link, but mine is the same spec's and hopefully the same condition when finished! Have tried H Lloyds with no luck. Have just painted the frame and fork will get some photos up soon

Hi Guys, Am restoring a 1962 Raleigh gran sport (brown/ red colour) and are looking for decals including the man on the bike one that goes on the seat tube. Same as in the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/8286330@N0 ... 906601444/ Does anyone know of a supplier for these? Thanks

Thanks guys for all the help. am in NZ so sending back to brooks isn't an option. Will definately try the dubbin and post pics if it works if anyone wants. Cheers

Hi guys, have done a forum seach but couldn't find anything. I'm guess this topic has been done heaps before though, but here goes. I have an old brooks swallow?? saddle from the early 60's? and wondering if it's worth restoring and if so the best way to go about it? It looks like it...

Yep I am keen on one of those new fangled seat posts. My rear shock loses the air pressure but the lockout is fine. i have fitted new seals to the air sleeve which worked for a little while. The frame got a small bit of corrosion around the water bottle cage inserts - I never used these...

Yep, I second that, would love to see some recent photos!

Thanks for all the feedback - I certainly want to restore it to it's former glory if possible. The Claud Butler looks in slightly better condition, but just as challenging. Will watch with interest, thanks Dave I found the carltoncycles website and the frame number gave a date of 1966, but...

Hi Guys, thanks for a great site, i hope to be able to contribute to it and not just ask questions like this one. Here is some pictures of my Dad's old Carlton that he has had for 35 years. It is in poor condition as it unfortunately got left outside for sometime due to extenuating...
