Founded in the latter part of the 19th Century, Carlton managed almost 100 years of bicycle manufacturing in the East Midlands. They were amongst the most sought after and readily available British bikes of the 1930s, thanks to some nifty salesmanship from Dan O'Donovan who was to later take over the company, and whose son Gerald became a frame designing legend. Following a buy-out by Raleigh in 1960 and a rebrand for the US market to 'Raleigh-Carlton' the company grew and grew through the bike boom with the doors finally shutting at their Worksop factory in 1981.

The Pro-Am was produced in the last few years of the Carlton Worksop factory years, before the company was bought out by Raleigh. Built from Reynolds 531 main tubes it was a comfy, well built bike designed for light touring or every day use. Specced with mid-range aluminium components the bike became the Pro-Am 12 in 1981 when it went up to six speed at the rear.

One of the last Worksop built Carltons to be produced 1981, this Pro-Am 12 still has it's original pale blue paint and transfers. With good clearances, geometry on the comfortable side and double butted Reynolds 531 main tubes this is ready to be built up as a reliable classic or L'Eroica bike.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

The frame's been carefully checked by one of our mechanics to confirm the alignment's correct and there's no damage to the threads. If there are any minor issues worth noting we will do so in the overview section below. Please take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the cosmetic condition of the frame before you buy.

Compact 5-in-1 Trimmer for Everyday Grooming
Color: Light Black
This 5-in-1 electric trimmer is designed to simplify personal grooming by combining several functions into one small device. The interchangeable heads make it possible to switch between different tasks such as trimming the bikini line, underarms, legs, or smaller facial areas. Changing attachments is straightforward, and the design keeps the process quick without needing multiple separate tools. The trimmer feels lightweight and easy to handle, which helps with maneuvering around different areas. During use, the blades glide smoothly and tend to feel gentle on the skin, making it suitable for routine grooming. The ergonomic shape also makes it comfortable to hold for longer sessions without feeling bulky. Another practical feature is the rechargeable cordless design. After charging, the battery typically lasts through multiple grooming sessions, which reduces the need for frequent charging. Because the device is compact, it fits easily into a travel bag or gym pouch, making it convenient for trips or daily use outside the home. Cleaning and maintenance are relatively simple as well. The detachable heads can be rinsed after use, and the waterproof capability allows the trimmer to be used in the shower if preferred. This makes it easier to keep the device hygienic without much effort. For people looking for a single grooming tool that can handle multiple areas while remaining portable and easy to maintain, this trimmer offers a practical and straightforward option for everyday personal care.

Thoughtful design with multiple useful attachments
Color: Light Black
Trying this 5-in-1 trimmer for a few days made it clear that the interchangeable heads are the main highlight. Each attachment has a clear purpose, so switching between trimming areas is straightforward and doesn’t require figuring out complicated settings. The motor runs quietly and the trimming action feels consistent without snagging hair. The body of the device is lightweight and comfortable to hold, which helps when working around smaller areas that need more control. Another detail I liked is the rechargeable design, since it removes the need for disposable batteries and keeps the device ready whenever needed. After charging, it lasted through several grooming sessions before the battery indicator suggested another charge. The detachable heads rinse clean easily, which makes maintenance simple and keeps everything hygienic. It’s a compact grooming tool that manages to combine several functions in one device without feeling overly complicated.

Well that didn't last long
Color: Blue
Worked great at first, but only got it last November and it doesn't work now in April. I've cleaned it out totally and it still sounds awful. I don't know what's wrong. I mostly use this on my face every morning. It should have lasted longer.

oothbrush for My Cat and Small Dog – Gentle, Effective, and Easy to Use!
Color: Microbrush Kit, Color: Microbrush Kit
I’ve been using the Jasper Microbrush Cat Toothbrush for both my small dog and cat, and it’s hands down the best pet toothbrush I’ve tried! Here’s why I love it: Designed for Small Pets: The narrow head and tapered bristles are perfectly sized for smaller teeth. The “lip lifter” feature is genius—it really helps when my cat is being less cooperative about opening his mouth. It makes brushing much easier for both of my pets. Gentle on Teeth and Gums: The extra-soft bristles are perfect for my cat and dog, who are both a bit sensitive during brushing. I’ve noticed they’re much more comfortable with this toothbrush compared to others I’ve tried. Ergonomic and Easy to Use: The curved neck and soft-grip handle are so well-designed. It’s easy to reach the back teeth, and the non-slip handle gives me full control, even when my dog gets wiggly. Sustainable and Cost-Effective: I love the replaceable heads! It’s environmentally friendly and saves money over time. Plus, swapping the heads every few months keeps things hygienic without having to replace the entire toothbrush. Veterinary-Approved Quality: Knowing this was designed with a veterinary dentist gives me extra confidence in the product. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making it safe and effective. Great for Both Pets: I use this toothbrush for my small dog and cat, and it works equally well for both. It’s versatile and eliminates the need to buy separate brushes. This toothbrush has made pet dental care so much easier and more effective. If you have a small dog, cat, or other small pet, this is a must-have for keeping their teeth clean and healthy. Highly recommend!
