Title: BSA Bike Identify
Post by: Jemoozilla on September 28, 2013, 05:07:25 PM

Hello,

Wonder if anyone can help identify this old bike, we found it at a relatives house who we inherited. We believe it is a 1963 BSA type bike, we have been offered £1500 for it but I want to research if that is the right price.

Thanks for your help

HI
 Can you find the frame and engine numbers, this will help put a date on the bike
The wheels fitted are circa 1970

this bike certainely didn`t leave the factory this way.
Engine is a 250cc C15 pre-`61; seat, rear light and side covers are late sixties; wheels (i.e. brakes), tank and front forks are 1971-on.
As for the frame - not enough is visible to put a year on it. If you are not interested in bikes yourself and you already have an offer of 1500 - my advice would be to let them have it!

Cheers
Andy
