British Bikes / BSA 53 Golden Flash
« on: August 28, 2007, 06:41:40 AM »
I have a 52-53 Gold flash -pluger model & want some info.Did the early models all have the large valanced guards as seen on the later models.The front guard on mine has a ridge down the middle & is a normal size ( Non valanced ) whereas the rear is a flat guard with no ridge down the middle but a hinge rear portion for rear wheel removal even though it has the Crinkly QD hub.I think maybe the rear is orig but the front is off something else?? Any info appreciated

The model apparently is a E27 about 1927 one family owner.I think its had new rims at some stage as the drilling of the rims make it cross 1 whereas I think it should be cross 2.( Brake drum side )

I am building a set of wheels for a guy restoring his early V twin BSA.I received only the rims & hubs.Can anyone tell me the cross pattern on the brake drum side-front & rear appear the same.Were front spokes 10 gauge & rear 9 gauge?
