That sure looks like my Carlton -- same head lugs and seat cluster, Campag. braze-ons for downtube shift, same rear dropouts, same rear brake cable guides. The only differences I can see are my chromed rear triangle and fork and the tops of the seat stays. Does yours have a serial number on the left rear dropout? Need a head tube decal? I recently received two reproduction decals from a chap in the U.K.
