Hi Vincente, If it is the Carlton Corsa Strada which is lagoon blue (same as the Carlton team bike), chrome forks and the light bracket attachment on the RH front fork, it probably dates to around 1971 to 1972. This was my first racing bike, so it is burned into my memory. Mine was supplied to UK specs, so it had the Carlton headbadge.
Originally, it would have been fitted with maroon coloured bluemels mudguards.
I raced this bike and upgraded it to Campagnolo gran sport derailleurs and fiamme sprints.
I hope that this helps.
All the best,
Peter Rogers
