For sale or swap a very rare vintage classic mid-60s Carlton Cycles of Worksop 'Type S Special' racing bicycle.

Carlton Cycles was a shop originally based in the North Nottinghamshire village of Carlton-in-Lindrick producing hand-made racing bicycles from 1898 up to 1981.

Got this as part of a deal and can't precise the exact year of the bicycle but by the numbering system used and according to history records likely it was made between 1968 up to 1973.

Bicycle in good original condition for age. It does have vintage exclusive accessories as frame attached air pump, luggage holder, mudguards, dynamo powered rear and front lights. Only the seat doesn't look original/period correct. Drive, chain and brakes do work. She needs a full service and new tyres. 27 inches wheels and 54cm frame size.

A classic in the making with very few (if any!) of the 'Type S Special' left. Bicycle ideal for a collector that wants to add this piece of history to their collection.


COLLECTION ONLY. WON'T BE SHIPPED.

I want to swap for

I'm a petrolhead and heavy motorsport fan so anything related do call my attention: modded, racing and classic cars, projects, engines, parts, tools, other memorabilia.

Currently I'm looking for:
- NB MK2 MX-5 hardtop (prefered colours are dark green, black or silver);
- MK1 Skoda Fabia 1.9 SDI or TDI (has to be road worthy with MOT - trim level irrelevant as mileage).

Try me!

Feel free to combine my items.

Swap only, not interested in purchasing.

I am open to ALL SWAPZ
