Corsa of Course
Devout Dirtbag
I saw on eBay this auction. Carlton Professional it is being offered at a phenomenally high price.
The reason I brought it up was because of how it has been restored. In many ways this looks good. You would think I could see myself riding something like that. Bear in mind I bought a brilliant pink Super Course some time ago although it only cost me £80. I am not one to say you have to restore something to how it was originally.
However this is being sold as a Carlton Professional it looks like a Mk V but in a Carlton Criterium colour scheme. The price being asked is too much at £1500. To me if you wanted absolute top dollar you would need to have made the model and colour scheme match. Am I being a bit of a fusspot or do others see it that way as well?
