That’s stunning. I had one of these in 1978 bought for £40 for me by my mum. Same colour but mine was only 5 speed. Would so love to have that bike back as sadly was stolen from my garage around 25 years ago 😢. Thanks for the brilliant video.

Great job again Andy. My bike in 1984 was the Carlton Pro~Am in a pearlescent pale blue. I always remembered the writing on the frame looking like it was hand written. A super bike rescue there pal.

Came across your youtube channel from your bikes on eBay. So glad to hear from others who have the same passion for the old steel bikes from the past. My dad used to work at Carlton Cycles until it shut as we live just around the corner from the old factory, which is now a leisure centre. We had a least five bikes over the years 2 x 24" wheeled bikes that my dad put straight bars on for us when we were kids and 2 x Carltons and a Sunn. It really is a pressure to see your enthusiasm and skill in restoring these old beauties, also the way you educate us mere mortals in the art of restoring bikes.

Absolutely, yes, fabulous! I couldn't help thinking the Carlton has a distant resemblance to my Made in England Raleigh Grand Prix that I bought for $120 from a "Sharing Wheels" shop over here in the US. They had done the work needed to get it ship shape but I do treat it with loving care and attention. I agree entirely that just because such bikes are not "flagship" does not detract from the beauty and charm that is all their own. Well done, Andy!

I rode an earlier Carlson Corsa years ago and loved it. I rebuilt it from the wreck it was when I got it. It wasn't as light as my two hand built racing bikes but it was a great 'day bike' - the one I rode to work and on training runs. I am at the moment rebuilding two Carltons, a Grand Prix and another Corsa.

When I was a kid the first bike I built was with a Carlton 531 frame. A bike shop in Dublin was selling them new for 50 old Irish pounds, (same value as British pounds). Bought all the parts too, think it added up to nearly 150. Those little Reynolds badges are an eye-catcher, I still get excited when I see one. Crazy.

Love the golden arrow set. Got a full Shimano 105 golden arrow set on my 1984 Raleigh Corsa. Though it's not as lovely and shiny as yours, it did look about the same as the ones you bought so I imagine it would clean up beautifully if I was so inclined.
@BikeItUK

My first road bike and restoration was the Corsa check out the video it’s on of the very early ones. It’s one bike I will not part with.

I had a very similar looking Carlton when I was a kid but I think mine might have been pre-Raleigh buyout. Exact same colour and decals but didn't have Reynolds badges and chrome forks. Really cool badge on head tube, that was the same and the angular banding on the seat tube. Mine also had a nice kind of wrap around welding of the seat stays at the top.

Hi :-) May I ask which was the cheapest build you ever featured? Of course I also appreciate your perfect, original, high end builds, but sometimes you need a cheap fix. Would you make a dirt cheap bike for once? Kind of sweep up the garage floor for parts and make it work brilliant still? Just based on a vintage lugged race bicycle frame. (I built my Atala, and I just wonder what you would come up with.)

That was Amazing, I found one where I live and interested on rebuilding it as well but my Experience is almost Nil! I'm sure this bike has being sitting outside in our Winter weather for awhile now and unsure how rusted the BB is going to be. The Crankset is still on but wondering if you have any thoughts.

Regarding the bike in question, my experience if the bike is in such a state then you have nothing to loose. I have done a video on removing square taper bottom bracket and cranksets that may help you out. If you are new to this then take photographs of parts before removing the parts. I hope this helps good luck 😉🚲

Nice job, I have a 1984 Raleigh rapide hanging on the wall of my garage, capagnolo gears, wienmann brakes Reynolds 531tubing and the original wheels. This bike was originally my brothers and I would love to see it resurrected but I don't have the money to do it. Anyone looking for a resto it's for sale.

Blue Magic metal polish can bring aluminum parts back to mirror-brightness without the use of rouge and polishing wheels. I use it on calipers with amazing results.

Carlton was the race bike division for Raleigh. All of the Raleigh 'Pro' bikes were built by the Carlton.

Back in the 70s before indexing, "groupsets" really didn't matter ... manufacturers and consumers mixed and matched shift levers, derailleurs, cranks, brakes, brake levers to whatever was best or best for the budget. Precise indexing systems spelled the death of many smaller manufacturers. Go to flickr (zbillster) and check out my albums with old Bikecology and Palo Alto catalogs from the late 70s and early 80s! These are scans of my personal catalogs I got in the mail as a teenager. :)

Great restoration but you have about 2" of extra cable for the rear brake and for the rear derailleur vintage derailleurs don't need such a large loop of cable as modern ones.

Im going to be restoring a Raleigh Super Course. When using a polish should you avoid going over the decals, and have you ever used a clay bar to lift the grit and grime prior to polishing? Thanks and cheers.

Hi and firstly thanks for watching! Regarding polishing and your question yes avoid decals, and no Other haven’t used a clay bar sounds interesting 🤔 all the very best Andy

I agree that these bikes should be saved. Can you comment on why Raleigh continued to put "Carlton" decals on the seat tube of bikes like, say, the 1978 Super Course? Were former Carlton facilities employed?
@BikeItUK
@BikeItUK 3 года назад
As far as I am aware, Raleigh produced bikes in the Carlton name knowing Carlton had a huge following and my guess is that they wanted to retain that loyal customer following.

Great save, Andy! Is there ever a temptation to do a best-of-both build - vintage frame/modern components?

Hi buddy have a look at the Colnago Master build I’ve done 😉1980’s frame Delta brake callipers with Potenza 11 speed 👍 it’s one build I frequently ride and love

Oh my giddy aunt! That Colnago's a *real* beauty! What is it the kids say these days - well jell ?! Definitely a best-of-both! For anyone reading this who's interested, it's here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zaGq-S42gQg.html

Hey Andy love your videos! It inspired me to get back on the bike so to speak. I picked up a Carlton Kermesse on eBay and have been restoring it over the past couple of weeks. I have one question!? do you recall the seat post diameter by any chance? Keep it up man! great stuff
@BikeItUK
@BikeItUK 3 года назад
Hi thanks for watching and great to hear your involved with the Carlton. I’m pretty sure it’s a standard 27.2mm seat post. I hope this helps enjoy 🚲
