8 months and crazy amounts of money I finished restoring this bike. I just need to finish setting the brakes, seat, handle bar and gears. It was quite a fun project. I can’t wait to take it for a ride.

That looks more contemporary than 1948. I would’ve guessed 70s. Nice restoration. Looks great.
Really nice bike beautifully restored.
Beautiful!
Well done ! 👏 👍
Yes, beautiful resto. Thurs lugs are wizardly! 🫠Why did you not use the original down tube shifter bosses?
I’m a sucker for elaborate lug work. Carlton never disappoints.
Beautiful resto work, well done.
Beautiful paintwork.
Not sure where *1948* came from, that appears to be late 60s-early 70s.
Nice job though.
Awesome! Well done. Those lugs, artwork worthy of Michelangelo or something.
That’s a campagnolo rear derailleur I think? Sport series or velox?
Grandpa would definitely tell you ta’ rotate them dam bars down, that’s not how we rode them back in the day 🙂
Very nice result and well worth what must have been considerable effort. Keep us posted with your impressions and more pics when you get to ride it
Great color. Why aren’t more bikes yellow?
