Hoping to pick up a 70s Carlton tomorrow.....or at least I think it is? 😁🤦

Are the wheels Normandy / Weinmann?

Are these wheels any good for the era?

One of 3 bikes bought at Newark autojumble yesterday, Carlton International, 95% original.
Looks a dead ringer for your bike.
Mystery solved?
The other 2 were a Falcon Black Diamond and an Elswick Hopper Invincible.

 

[Midlife]

Nothing wrong with the combo, 27 x 1 1/4 I guess

It does look spookily similar. I will see if there
is any chrome on the forks!
