Here's a new acquisition and one I've never seen before: a 1972 Super Course Carlton-built mixte frameset. Interestingly, the Raleigh catalog from that year only lists a men's model. Also of interest is that the BB threading is standard English, not Raleigh 26tpi:









Remnants of the Reynolds 531 decal and a classic Carlton wrap-over seat stay treatment (that seatpost is currently stuck, but I'm working on it):










The finish is in great shape in some places, not so great in others (it looks like it was left laying on damp grass on its left side for a few years), and it's a 21" frame, which is my wife's size (though she already does have a Raleigh mixte).
