1979 Carlton Professional Mk.5 - restoration advice needed

[ibbz]

Looks really good in blue and silver. I can't believe you sold it!

My project has gone away for the winter as I had some other jobs around the house and garden that took priority. To be continued next summer!

One of the most foolish things I ever did
For I think £600 or something silly

I did see that one and thought very nice but one size too small for me, out of interest are the Carlton and Raleigh Professionals the same frameset? I have just compared photos of the two together and they look like it.
