the ride quality comes from the butting in the main triangle and the
forks and the weight savings from plain-guage tubing was almost nothing.
My plain gauge decal images have the bottom row of writing
painted-over in black by the Carlton Factory. Carlton often probably
had some spare decals laying around, and installed them and painted
over the words, "Forks, and Stays" with a paint brush. They also did
this with 531-throughout decals.
An image of the plain-gauge throughout decal also appears in Eugene
Sloan's 1st edition "Complete Book of Bicycling".
