Carlton Hand built 531 tubing bicycle frame


This is the most recent bike I have restored a Carlton 531 Tubing racing frame hand built in 1977.

The frame is 21 1/2 inch and has been re-sprayed in Sunshine Yellow it has some very nice detailing on the lugs and front forks. It is fitted with a Cincelli stem and handle bars and some very rare Campagnolo brake levers.

The bike was sold partially built allowing the new buyer to complete the bike to his own spec.

I have several other top quality racing frames available for restoration to order. Get in touch if you would like a custom built bike or your current bike is in need of an overhaul.
