What's wrong with this picture?
Manufacturing defect? Human error? Practical joke?

I had a set of Weinmann brake lever hoods for a Raleigh Super Course, on which they installed the Carlton logo insert upside down, in the mold. I've posted about these before. Now all I have to do is find the old photograph. In some hobbies, rare variations are worth big dollars to collectors but that doesn't seem to the case with cycling.

Just a wild guess, those wheels aren't stock and the hipster that built them didn't care about logo placement. Can you see the logo through the valve hole?

Of course that's just a matter of taste, and i understand my opinion on the subject is completely irrelevant.

^^^^ Obviously the builder anticipated that bike being hung upside down by hooks in someone's garage by 1980, not to be taken down until some far-off future dystopic pandemic.
These belong in the thread with the "STURMY ARCHER" hub, and the "MADE IN JTALY" stem.
