I won't shout at you over that thing, not at all, simply because my interest in such things in a bit less than minimal.

4 wheels are for carting large bits of bike, wife, dogs, and similar impedimenta around.

We all have our preferences for boys toys.

you got it spot on Rex, unless you've experience the pleasure of a relaxing ride on a lazy big single, as opposed to the fussiness of a more modern bike you'll never understand.

As for enjoying the 'rebuild journey' and the 'fight to over come issues'  try an obsure veteran or vintage where there is no easy cop out like importing expensive rare spares from abroad, the Marston Sunbeam club are using CAD/laser  machines to make stuff, recasting parts, and so on.

for vintage machines there ain't no parts to find.

wasn't the old CD175 single carb?

no bothers with that, fugly old bike but they seemed to go on for ever.

far better idea.

most on here have given all sorts of advice  such as stop fiddling with old crap, as reralistically you could have bought a superb vintage bike for the money you wasted on these things.

I do wonder.

When I was in the trade we sold dozens of these  new, a good seller, but a good bike, for 5 years max, thats why there are so few left, disposable machines.

I have a 1930s Raliegh pushbike, it was sold with a life time guarantee, thats confidence in the quality of your goods. Its still a very servicable cycle in its oriiginal enamel and chrome.

It won't burn properly and think of the pollution.

However I live on the edge of Salisbury Plain, on there are  something called Impact zones and the chaps are getting very busy live firing this month,now if you could arrange to get your bike into one of them, an AS90 will ensure it is well shredded, it won't be missed,already plenty shrapnel up there.

I can feel the percussions this morning from here.

My mate says................ >:(



when I had my bike shop that was far as it got, rude interruption then said fek off and get your mate to  fix it.


I think you'll find Rex that there is a growing element amongst the  know it all younger than us that believe that if you fit enough new technology to an old bike it will miraculosly become a new old bike.

That have not cottoned on that new tech has not yet lasted as old   tech.
