Yes Classtime, I have the original Carlton hoods, they have a fair number of scratches from over the years and the hard material, these are much more comfortable to ride with and as you say fit perfectly...

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!"
Take it for what it's worth. Might be true fact; they might have been "taking the Mickey" out of a newbie Yank. I prefer to think both.

Thanks for that information. I suspected my Competition might be from 1973. Maybe after I get a few more posts on here and I finish putting my bike back together I can post a picture. Michael

Mostly correct
The bars are tweaked uneven, and the brake hoods are crustal.

Presently sporting Mavic Module 3 rims with a not matching Shimano front hub (makes me feel dirty).
