Kessels Molteni. Orange bikes were the fastest :)

Black on the steerer might be some of the old phosphate “bonderised” finish ?

Isn’t that Nuovo Record and not C Record. ?

If just for show then no glue needed. If you are riding then Tufo tape, two pencils and you tube :).

By tubeless I guess you mean tubular (tubs) From that era I guess you are after tan wall ? Cheap and cheerful Victoria Rallye might fit the bill.

Nice, always liked the italienate seat stay cluster :).

Yep, bar end shifters. Sometimes the rear mech cable ran across the top tube and down the seat stay to keep It out of the mud. Often just single chainring up front with guards either side of the ring to keep the chain from bouncing off Edit. The LFGSS ad you bought it from has two single...

Advert blurb says made of aluminium 531…..

You can use beaded clincher tyres of the correct size but at reduced pressure iirc

Looks like good old High Pressure in old coinage. Is it Weinmann ?

Carlton numbering 1968 to 1973 went a bit pants. I wonder if old stock frames ready built went Raleigh’s way for an early Europa. Falcon made some back door frames for Raleigh too when they were short, with the wrap round seat stays.

Early team Raleigh colours had a yellow head tube, included uk models. As mentioned the number may be under the seat cluster. Might start with a W as Raleigh nicked Carlton frames, usually to kick start production.

Have a look at the last couple of posts on the thread to see how nice a powder coat can look nowadays with wet paint jobs being quite spendy https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/135850/?offset=2025#comment17909195

By choppers I guess you mean axes and not a Raleigh Chopper …

Early 70’s would have over bb cable guides with the stop on the top of the chain stay. All the kit could be from any era

bit of a mix of ages.......... The fame design is 80's (ish) but the lugs hark back to an earlier period. By the time this frame was made most lugs were plain. I wonder if the R stands for something else. Roberts?

Would a 1931 frame have a head clip headset, bolted on seat stays and all that ?

Nice, a later one with oversized seat stay caps. The earlier ones were in the classic Carlton lagoon blue Thank goodness they kept the all chrome forks with sloping crown :)

Anything in Bankruptbikeparts ?

Ofmega did other “plastic” components, the Mistral rear mech is the one that springs to mind, mainly as they did a pink one :).
