Hey Fruitbat
I have said it has a sticker see above, and it say's 'Tour de France' but I think it is just a general one, stuck on after a Dulux paint job. I think it's a mid 50's WF Holdsworth with Nervex lugs

The Carlton is a joke in reply to the dickheads who keep saying green and steel.

Thank you for your help, don't give up, let me know if you have any info.......

Here is frame number 3, It's chrome all over, it has white panels, it has J3380 on the Btm bracket and a Phillips cotter chainset, a GB531 stem, Simplex gears and a metal badge on the front saying Carlton.

Well you would be wrong it say's 'Tour de France' can't you see the the sticker?

On the green frame that is the STEEL one it also has GB HIDUMINIUM QUILL STEM GB HANDLEBARS "MAES"

And on the blue frame it has a GB531 chrome stem and a Campagnolo cotterless steel sport crank set from 1971, great chrome on chainring side and I'm having the nearside crank re-chromed and the alloy ring polished.

On the green frame no sticker on the blue frame MOORLAND CYCLES

Thank you Tel I think I like your reply better than the other 2. As Dutch Cheese has pointed out its green and that is all that is on the steel ( thank you 31t good spot sic) frame. So no sticker sorry.

Could anybody ID these frames please.........

Yes it is a GB 531 Stem

Just looked it is a GB 531 3" chrome stem with a bit of rust on it. Had a look on ebay £151 is that what they go for?? That may pay for the re-build Tis a Williams clanger, not too bad. when it's finished it will be a good replacement for my wife's Raleigh Caprice flower design.

Yes alloy bars, seat pin and alloy wheels built by Harry Hall Manchester. It does feel light tho and that's with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed. I bought it with a Houldsworth Cyclone 1955 so I think it dates from then. What colour should I enamel it? All the other bits are useable.

Thanks for your comments but if you look at this link its very similar

Thats better, pic's working

Is it a Thanet Silverthan rare ladies bike Could anybody help be ID this bike? I think it's early 50's? It has a Brooks B72L saddle but the back wheel has been re-built with a Sturmy Archer 3 speed 1963. Very light bike even with SM hub.

It has the frame No just above the headset bottom lug, if that helps. its a very light bike even with the Sturmey Archer gears.

Thanks. Looks like a t at the end on the badge

Mnnnnnn ZZZZZ

If you buy a bike at a police auction, is that then crossed off the list? Also if your riding the bike and the former owner see's it and smacks you one!! If I see my stolen Houldsworth Cyclone I'd smack and ask questions later.

Can you tell what the Vet age limit is?

Ask for a re-fund and then let him come back with a figure, he will lose the postage cost and will have to pay for it to be picked up. He won't get money back from the courier, cause they will say not packed properley. As a well known courier said to me 'hold the package above your head drop on the floor if it does not damage, packed well'
Also they will demand to see packing materials.
