A while ago I joined a Carlton group on FB. Lots of Brits there. I posted the "Annnn" question, and got a quick reply: "Everybody knows those are from 1973!"

They all look great (as do the accessories)!
After anguishing deliberation, and facing the deadline, I'll cast my vote for the blue Brooks Pro.

Wait a minute... Brooks, a company associated with copper rivets, made a saddle of denim, a fabric associated with copper rivets, with STEEL rivets?

"C?" Is that a Carlton seat tube pin? I'm jealous. Mine never had one.

Glad to see you didn't go *completely* original - that plastic ribbed handlebar tape was atrocious. Back in...

What are you riding? I ride a 1970's Raleigh, which has a mixture of English and Continental components. So a small adjustable wrench is perhaps #1 on my list. Sometimes I ride...
