That Rudge logo is reminscent of
Yes, I've read somewhere that that is exactly what it was meant to represent. (The red hand of Ulster).

Quite a cute bike in need of looking after. The guy is selling the whole shop (in Glasgow). Wonder if he's got other old bits and pieces lying around...

IMO, amazing stuff but pretty expensive...BIN £171 ($275 US)

Not amazing but I quite like this and it's under £100

There's a new mechanic (maybe two) at Lock 7 who sorted a bottom bracket for me. Thought it was going to be a complete nightmare cause it had damaged threads but they did it for me in short time and it seems to be ok. They all seem very friendly and able to communicate well which really helps on those bleak mornings when you seem to have one little mechanical problem after another...
-
Yep, saw that one. It was in the 'ebay finds' thread. I got hold of some stronglight 49d cranks and a ta chain ring for mine which I think suit it.
It's pretty precious to me - the old Carlton's have a bit of history and are well worth riding and looking after IMO and they can only get rarer.
The one you're selling is obviously worth the asking price so hope it goes to a good home. -
Yep, can't believe this hasn't gone already, they're great bikes.
-
Nice... there's a similarly nice Carlton flyer in the forum's classifieds for less (it's not mine).
Couldn't see the link from BlueQuinn but I saw a red Quinn from (August) classifieds. Anyway, thanks... -

"all chromed with transparent copper acrylic painted over it. Carlton called this finish Acrilichrome.The effect can be seen where the paint still remains under the headstock badge. A very pretty, but probably not very durable, finish."
Cheers for that TomBurtonArt. I'd visited that site before but not come across that page or more likely hadn't read it properly...

Could be quite a charming frame/bike.@coppiThat and TomBurtonArt. I've think I've heard of acili chrome but don't really know what it is. Google didn't help me. If you have time for a brief explanation or how I could tell the difference, I'd much appreciate it.

Cute road frame: Vintage 1939 Maclean Featherweight Frame

sure i have seen this before.
Lew_redd sold a chrome Carlton on the forum a couple of months ago but this aint it.( I bought it from him).
Apparently in the 1960's all BCF track winners were given a chrome Carlton. Is this (or something like this), true?
He's selling a rather nice Carlton track frame in the classifieds atm. -
A beauty. Wish I had the spare cash. I'm loving the chrome Carlton I bought from you a couple of months ago though. Cheers.
-
While waiting for the continuation of this most excellent thread, just thought I'd post this nice looking Brooks. Look at the larger images and a bit of 'trepanation' can be seen.

Pretty, though perhaps expensive, Bernard Carre chrome frame.

Don't really know if reporting stuff to Facebook does alot but...
I think it was 21. -
^Reported to Facebook. People were commenting on how funny this was...perhaps not realizing that cyclists were killed.
-
Is the frame still available?
Might be interested if it is..
