Carlton Criterium

Yes I did. The ones I found are narrower. Not much choice for 27" wheels.

Spent a day cleaning the crit....all sparkly now, alloy polished, frame two coats of Mer after cleaning all little lug work edges, even scrubbed up the white walls despite having a new set of ambers to fit....couldn't resist! Picture to big to upload will sort it out on Photobucket tomorrow

Can't access photobucket on my mobile...pc down anyway got the tan hoods fitted and treated it to new cables whilst at it! And cleaned the alloy again

Looks in good fettle , a job well done .

Is it just me , but why do vintage /steel bike appear to have more about them than a modern alloy / carbon machine.

Seen a lot of riders with a mucky back the last few weeks because they cannot fit decent mudguards on their machine :!: :?:

Yes - looks very 'snappy' - the 'metallic paint' seems to hold up well - down here in the antipodes - metallic paint usually deteriorates in the cleaner air - similarly with human skin, house paint etc :- (
