British Bikes / Excelsior, Villiers 125 educational purpose
« on: March 10, 2021, 06:23:07 PM »
Hi,

Today I came across a motorbike like the one I am restoring, but this one has the engine cut to show its operation.

It was from a driving school.

Is it an Excelsior 125 Univesal, 1947/1949?

Was the engine cut by the owner or were they supplied from the factory for this purpose?
(I don't think so, but I wanted to be sure)

British Bikes / Identify a gearbox from a Raleigh Model 15 248cm from 1928
« on: February 16, 2021, 03:22:39 PM »
Hi,
I'm Paulo from Portugal and I'm starting to bring an old raleigh to life. The bike was dismantled when I receive it.

This bike should have a Sturmey Archer 3 speed gearbox.
My gearbox looks different from others. The lever/gear changer is very different from the ones I found in other similar bikes, they have a U shape attachement, mine it has 3 inline holes.

Looking at the images, would you say this is a Sturmey Archer 3 speed gearbox? Or it's a different brand? Or they change the leveron the bike?

Gearbox serial: BS 44835   AE
Bike frame number: L5304 (Strange L on the number and strange location of the serial number)
Engine NUmber: M14715

British Bikes / Some Raleigh doubts (now with serials)
« on: January 09, 2014, 11:50:42 AM »
Hi,

I need your help to identify a Raleigh model and year.
At this momment I don't have many pictures, but I bellive this one from the tank could help.
The bike look's like a Raleigh 250 model 15 deluxe, from 1928, but the Lettering is diferent from what I see in other bikes. The first and last letter in my tank are bigger than the others.
The bike as two separate tanks and each other has two "holes".
It has sturmey archer gears.
I hope the original logo can help to figure its age.

Thanks,
Paulo
