Help -racing cycle identification needed
Hi all,
I am in the UK and have a racing cycle built in the mid 1970's I think. It has capitals CR in raised letters, cast into the frame, in the normal place you'd find the badge or makers name at the front below the handle bars. I have searched for several hours but cannot find out what manufacturer or maker CR stands for. It also has the capital letter R cast into the top of each side of the forks. Best wishes MRLC

Dear Picchio
Yes it is a Charles Roberts. Exactly the same insignia is used today on their modern bikes. Thanks very much for your help.
