Carlton Clubman 1980

[Flashspix]

Picked up this vintage Carlton back in early summer, it was in good working order when I collected it.

I was keen to upgrade the budget Suntour gearset to the Suntour SVX in keeping with the period
and quality builds that Carlton 531 bikes came out of the factory with.

Paintwork is original, few chips and small dings, but overall I think still looks striking, there is a nice SR Chainset, Seatpost, Stem and engraved handlebars, drilled Weinmann levers with black hoods and lightweight Weinmann sidepulls all polished and looking splendid.

Thanks for looking

Looks very presentable.

It was a summer love in, new components added soon after I picked her up, managed to bag a few Cols, been genuinely impressed with how she handles.

Thinking of moving her on, as I have had a few other projects which I managed to complete.
Had some interest from Canada, she could be destined for a jaunt to North America.
Very Cool Profile Pic, I should really update mine on here
