British Bikes / Re: British combo ?
« on: July 14, 2016, 09:56:03 AM »I agree with R and Bob - continental from the period 1929 - 1934. The tank shape is a bit like NSU, but it was a popular shape at the time. Gnome et Rhone and others were very similar. If you wanted to identify it, there are about five points that would need matching: the tank shape, the fork type (centre spring with dampers on the bottom spindle and links recessed along their centre-line), the (Bosch?) single-point headlamp, the hand gear change at the front of the tank on the right side, and the shape of the tank transfer.
I don't know enough about continental bikes of this period to even begin to guess!
Since the bike obviously still exists, and was photographed somewhere relatively recently, I guess someone somewhere knows it very well!
