Title: ajs 33/10 trophy
Post by: firemanyin on July 31, 2008, 02:21:53 AM

Can anyone help with regards to the ajs 33/10 that i have got to restore.   There is a picture in the vintage bike section. More detailed photos would be appreciated of a current bike or if anyone knows of any other 33/10 or model 10 as they were known would help.

Nice bike.
Gearbox you may get from George Yeomans or Hawkshaw, if not, stick a Triumph pre-unit box in and make up a tin primary (which it had originally anyway).
You've got all the tricky bits really.
If it was mine I'd use and adapt bits to get it running and enjoy it, rather than go for originality.
Pre-war bitzas are the new craze, it seems, and a good thing too.
Much more interesting than someone boring us silly with tales of how their 1987 Yamakondazumi 125 is the new "classic to have".... :D
