1914 Humber number problem sunbeam club

[wetdog]

but me likes Inters ............................ I did but been told the frame on this one is a plunger ES2 , I may have alterd to inter spec but the numbers will always be wrong

[Bomber]

An Inter frame has angled plungers an ES2 has vertical ones

i will take some pics and post them here , im told this can be alterd (not cheap) and numbers will always tell this is the wrong frame so is it worth it , the bike was complete and had been on the road in the late 80s but tatty when I bought it (Rex it was cheap so start fleshing? is this local code for wanking ) I took apart to turn into a inter racer thing but got to old and lost interest

[wetdog]

bit sad but its a bit at the back (a maybe one day project) can you tell from these pics ? went to buy what I was told was an Ariel and turned out to be this

[Bomber]

It's lovely!

[wetdog]

but does the frame look wrong from what you can see ? im not sure but its putting me off doing the bike

[Bomber]

I can't tell from the pics tbh

What does the frame number say.
Photo needs to be at a distance, square on to the side of the bike.
The plunger angle makes very little difference to the performance.
Restore it and ride it...

Or put an ES2 in it - no oil leaks !! (or not as many anyway), and not that much different in modern traffic..

had a good offer on this now (from this site) so may let this one go , thanks for your help , the frame is not a inter

[Bomber]

Well done.. not a bad job at all considering pics were so limited, it will no doubt become someone's pride and joy

[wetdog]

hope so , would never have got done by me to many others on the go , will spend the cash on a thunderbird and 99 im working on taking a break from singles for a bit .
