>From my experience, this bike, a 60's Carlton International is much rarer
than most Hetchins models. It was originally cheaper than a Hetchins, but
the lug work on this particular example seems to be especially good.
If it were my size, I would be tempted to purchase it and restore it.
I am lucky enough to have obtained a similar chromed R/P version. They are quite beautiful!

Thought I'd pipe-in on this bike since I've seen it up close and actually considered buying it (as a my size Hetchins) 2 or 3 yrs ago when it was at a
different Sacramento LBS. Its very pretty and component mix is nice vintage. Probably be a nice Carlton for someone who could/would overlook its pretence.
