Carlton Cycles produced some of the most beloved British lightweights of the 20th century. Building on our Carlton Cycles resource collection, this thread is dedicated to the frames born in the Worksop factory - from the elegant "Capella" lugs to the high-performance "Flyer" and "Professional" models.

Discussion Points:

• Frame Identification: Share photos of wrap-around seat stays and Carlton-specific lug thinning.

• The Worksop Legacy: Discuss the transition period following the Raleigh acquisition and how to identify "true" Carlton-built machines.

• Restoration Details: Share period-correct builds and original Carlton transfer sets.
