Carlton S3X

In september I posted photos of my Carlton Corsair and said I was going to upgrade the drivetrain.

That looks really nice, love the rear hub and gear shifter. Very tidy job

Good work, although it looked much better in its original form. Just my view though.

I've got a Corsair frame too, nowhere near as nice as yours though (there's a bastard of a dent in one of the seatstays).

It looks great with the new paint. Perhaps you could try lug-lining around the headtube - in orange to match the cables. Stick a new headbadge on there and I'd call it finished!

Incidentally you might want to shorten the rear part of the rear brake cable - there's no point in it curving upward and then back down again, it just adds extra friction in the cable and looks a bit untidy.
