60s Carlton International frame Ebay 330388274052

Been shovelling snow in my little winter wonderland for a couple days, so now just catching up on this thread. Agree that it's a 60s vintage Carlton International frame. However, critical, nit-picky detail freak/geek that I am for certain things, the more I look at it, the worse it looks. Sooooo just in case you're considering purchasing it for the frame:

ALL chrome is gone. Head lugs had me fooled for a moment, but they appear to be only painted silver.

Braze on bosses for shift levers are probably added on. The few 60s Int frames I've seen had clamp on levers. Little details perhaps, but expensive ones to correct. At that opening price, one does have certain expectations.

Happy hunting
