Parting out the Carlton help...
I've got nothing but love for the Carlton frame but the components are rather crude and shot.
The Campagnolo hubs without the record engraved are probably the biggest gem of the deal. They are laced to Weinman sew ups. I'm debating on cutting the spokes and selling both units. Would it be better to leave them as is even though the old spokes are all crusty? These could get an acid bath and probably look new. The cones are likely good.
One spoke snapped last night. They are oh so brittle.
The other component I would like to sell is the stock Williams crankset and bottom bracket. I don't have the man power to push a 58 front ring. But maybe that could be the signature piece of the fixie conversion
The rear derailleur is a huret Allvit with a completely modified cage design. Not worth a continental in my opinion.
The front derailleur is a Campagnolo Plunger in very bad condition. I'm guessing it might get a few bucks for parts and nothing else. Its an early 60's model.
I'm also open to non monetary involved trades with fellow members. All thoughts appreciated.

Be sure to pull the freewheel prior to cutting the spokes. You will not be able to get it off after the spokes are cut.
