Title: What is this 1930's bike?
Post by: VintageBike on August 13, 2006, 01:49:33 AM

Can anyone help in identifying this bike?

Is it a Wolf?

Hope someone can help.....

Yes, another Wolf 'Unit' 125cc I think!

Strange how several examples of the same bike will appear out of the woodwork at the same time. Another example of the same model Wolf appeared im my local club magazine this month. Looks pure 1938 Model WA10 to me and doesn't it look smart being so new!

Actually I'm not sure it is a Wolf after all !!

I think the first part of the 'Excelsior' name and top of the badge can be seen on the 'Betty' bike.

So, it is possibly an Excelsior J10 ?

Nigel,

I'm getting a '404' when I click on the link now, and I see you have put the photo in 'Period Pictures'.
Link to the photo.
