Interesting the centre pull brakes and short mudguards were standard on the Corsa not so much on the Continental.

Beats me! Not sure to what you are refering to. My ignorance, sorry

I know this was ages ago but could they be the Lindrick lugs as used on the 1954 Continental

Another one All Saints Icklingham redundant but listed grade 1. Thatched roof which is a little unusual. The Corsa of course waiting to resume the ride. Then some time earlier in Tuddenham I caught up with someone else doing a different loop of churches although he had been to several of the...

I am not sure about that one. There is the annual Ride N Stride event that helps raise some funds for the various historic Churches Trusts around the country. The event happens every year on the second Saturday in September. The way it works is you cycle from Church to Church and sign in at...

With my usual camera skills I am afraid but some are OK. The bottom one of St John's is not mine but is brilliant as now you can see why I am sure this spire inspired Gerry Anderson.

A few of the 34 churches and chapels I visited on my 55 miles round the region on Saturday the round tower is St Giles Risby.

Well we are creeping towards the Ride N Stride weekend in 2023 I completed 102 miles on my trusty Corsa, little accident saw me in trouble shortly after and I was off games in 2024 having had a new hip but I Will be cycling again this year only a short 50 miles the second Saturday in September...

There is a frame set for sale...

Fab looking bike great idea about a purple bike ride,,, the nearest I have is a polychromatic crimson... Maybe time to.... Nope not buying another bike....

Have you tried heat then hot then cold, or vibration?

Looks like like an excellent find.

I like your style Jim we are definitely working on similar wavelengths.

Google maps will show you the topography but not the gradient. As I am quite low powered and my gears are 52-40 and 11-28 I have to be careful of anything too steep.

Not sure if everyone knows about this website https://bikeclimbs.com/climb/united-kingdom. I use if when plotting longer routes to understand more about what I might be letting myself in for. I take my hat off to the research that was carried out to make this website work.

https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/carlton-super-course-1980-original-531-throughout.194934/ The above posting lists most of the original bits. My Super Course has Cinelli bars, the original seat had gone so it now has a Lepper tourer saddle. For many years Carlton used Brooks saddles.

Exactly why wouldn't you take advantage of better components to optimise your bicycle. None of mine are completely original.

It is a lovely looking thing, I find myself seeing it from two viewpoints. The first is oh wow look at the lovely paint on that frame and all the up to date components that is a cracking bike. Then another bit of me looks at it and sees what would have been one of later Carlton Professional...

Ah the sign of what I consider as an upgraded cafe stop. With your upgraded running gear it will be a pleasure to ride for many years. I am ever so slightly envious.

I imagine that will ride beautifully.
