I meant Carleton Cycles on Kingsway in Vancouver. Which was later Carleton Cycles and Outdoor Recreation and then Carleton Rescue. I built frames there from about 1978 to 1980 and probably did about 100 frames, touring, road racing, track racing. Rick Green one of the proprietors started the frame building business and was a master craftsman. Anyway here are some photos of probably the last frame I built there which I made to ride in the pursuit events. I think I rode on it at the 1979 Nationals and Pan Am Games and it's been travelling around with me collecting dust ever since. Reynolds 753 Superlight tubing (a ***** to braze). Old campy cranks and pedals with toestraps! no clipless pedals and disc wheels back then. Nice light bike for a steel frame. Can't remember what happened to the seat and post and handlebars, must have ended up on another bike. Sorry no decals. The ones on this bike are probably as good as any around.
