Here are some pics of my 1972 Carlton build. Thanks to Sasha at Citizen Chain in SF for the custom work.

Still working on the stem/handle bar configuration. I'm not liking the look of the tall stem. We also used a temporary Deore derailleur until I decide if my cluster has enough range for my liking; it does so I will be getting an Ultegra derailleur.

I went with 1 x 9 gearing just for fun. Sasha made a custom thumb shifter out of an Ultegra down tube shifter so I could have indexed shifting! We built new 27 inch wheels with shimano 105 hubs. The bike is super light for its age.

Porteur rack from VO to come. And maybe fenders, but I kind of like how quiet she rides and I know fenders add a bit of "rattle" noise.
