That would appear to be the kiddie.
Drop outs look right.
So is that better, worse or about the same?? Lol

 

[Grannygrinder]

Using ebay as a guide id say slightly better

Nice thats its not basic scaffold tube, it is a decent weight.
Farsunds of em.
I might have to purchase some decals! Only so i dont forget what it is you understand lol

I don't think it's a Carlton because of the lack of top tube cable guides, plain lugs, longer rear dropouts and fork crown. Possibly it's a Coventry Eagle as the used wrap around seat stays similar to Carlton.

Not wanting to burst your bubble, but I reckon it's fairly low rent. The pressed dropouts and seamed bottom bracket point to this. Even the 531 example is only 3 tubes non-butted 531, so not comparable to a full 531DB frame

Good for knocking around on and even extended rides, but bear in mind, it's no thoroughbred
