Not a Carlton number type I've seen.

 

[Midlife]

Carlton numbering 1968-1972 went a bit pants. It's just the lugs that look so much like Carlton Flyer makes me think Carlton.

The quite basic finishing of the lugs and rolled tube visible on the chainstay however are not very Carlton

One of the last Bob Jacksons to come out of Leeds for shipment to the U.S. In work photo, Oct 09 2020. The tubing is 853 OS, the lugs and crown are Newvex, the model is a Audax Club, 21" frame.
I pulled the stops out when I ordered this frame in Classic Lotus Colors.

How about made in Wales ? Here are my 1990 British Eagle Pro-Carbons. One in 19" and one in 21".

A question. Were your carbon frames laid up and made in Wales, or were they made in the far east and assembled in Wales?

My late Uncle bought this for me for £5. Sold to @flash way back in the mists of time...Only parts not re used, mudguards, rear hub, pedals,stem bent.

An assortment long gone.

1984 Raleigh Europa, the best one in my opinion. 700s and 74 degree geometry. Pulled from a pile of rubbish bags and timber. With the owners permission. When my son was learning to ride I used this, as fixed is just so easy to control.

1980 Raleigh Record Ace. I have a real soft spot for Raleigh. Long gone.
