Sorry didnt have the bike with me at the time and spillings never been my strong point

Never mind, we all make misteaks.

Been out and about today on my Carlton Corsair 23.5 531 framed This ones been stored in a pub loft for a good few years in Worksop that’s just been knocked down (if you live in Worksop you will know the pub on Kilton Hill a mile up the road from the Cycles) Rides exceptionality well I don’t think it’s been used much in its lifetime I was going to completely restore it but I’m gonna keep it as is and the patina Just put some cables and a pair of secondhand tyres/ tubes and a partial clean up .So good to go for a few more years

From what I can see from these photos it doesn't need anything much doing to it. Very tidy and I like the colour scheme very much. I'll bear that in mind the next time I get a frame painted!
