ACTUAL SIZES

Due to the 70° seat angle, Carlton frames feel shorter than their size :

- Carlton 20.6" feels like a 20.3"/20.4" frame, with more room between handlebar and seat

- Carlton 21.0" feels like a 20.7"/20.8" frame, with more room between handlebar and seat

- Carlton 21.3" feels like a 21.0"/21.1" frame, with more room between handlebar and seat

------------------------------------------

PEG USE

Better to ride a Carlton frame with Superstar Micropegs, instead of real pegs. Peg use on a Carlton frame will cancel the warranty. Have a look at the Cooper frame if you want to ride pegs.
