Appears to be a 1960's chrome Carlton.
There are no decals to see what it could be, or made out of.

I had one of those but with red fade around the lugs? Think this ones been polished within an inch of its life!

Some sellers really don't help themselves do they - no information at all about the size, age or condition of the bike, no full bike picture, all photos taken in portrait mode (one of which appears to have been uploaded 9 times!) and most pics blurred or out of focus.

Agree @Jenkins - only the final photo has most of the bike. But .. these are the sort of auctions I like, as it puts off other bidders .

Poor photographs and descriptions are how I got most of my older bikes and a couple of others: I try to see through the awful photos and/or poor text to work out what's actually being sold.
