No Photo. Post on lfgss site: “Any one know about Carpenter frames, think it is pre-war 39/45, it has a Chater- Lea bottom bracket and a serial number of 3948 on the frame underneath, I raced on the track at Leicester until 1988 and time trials on calm days on this bike, it has sat in my shed buried until now“
