Wow, what a beauty! While I already have an apartment full of bikes, I would have found room for this classic. For those of us who were tempted by this frame, and may be similarly tempted in the future, are there any little quirks that have to be accomodated? Oddball BB threading, or non-standard headset dimensions? Can one just toss on a Campy Gran Sport or NR group, along with the requisite GB bars/stem and Weinmann centerpulls? Or did Carlton follow the practice of Raleigh and others and impose their own unique standards on some of these parts?
