I think the darker areas are dirty, but we will see when I get to cleaning it up. This seems to be the same luminous metallic copper paint that was most common for Carlton Catalinas of the mid 60s.

I'll try to post lug photos tomorrow.

The skewer in the front wheel is certainly older than the rear wheel, but I think the hubs match. Not sure if they are original or an upgrade. Does anybody know if Dunlop Sprites (the tires shown in the mid 60s Carlton catalog) were tubular? Internet search engines have certainly gotten worse in the last 10 years - any search containing sprite and dunlop mostly yields results about Raleigh Sprites.
