Carlton

[Kempstonian]

Here's some pics of a Carlton I used to have
It was a mess when I got it...

This is it after a respray and new equipment fitted

I used it to ride to work (15 miles each way) and for evening training sessions. Then I decided to give it a slight paint job modification to match the design of my other two bikes...

Not exactly a classic but I enjoyed riding it.

Nice one.. Here's me on the same frame but chromed called a cobra getting wet on a 70's TT lol

Oh was that the model? The Cobra? I've been trying to find out what it was. I even looked through some Carlton catalogues I found online but couldn't see it anywhere.

I can't even remember where I got the bike from now - it was so long ago.

Midlife - I found this yesterday and I think it solves the mystery. Mine seems to have had a couple of extra decals put on the seat tube (probably by the owner), but apart from being a different colour, I would say its the same model as mine. Its a Corsa.
