The Classic Biker Bar / Rare Carburetor
« on: June 26, 2021, 09:10:46 AM »
Just browsing the classifieds on the Vintagebike.co.uk Website and found this add.
I'm assuming it's a Sidedraft Carburetor?

1913 Triumph is now finished and running  :)

Just noticed the chain is getting caught in the rear stand, that will need looking at.

Thanks all.
Can't help myself, I love the original unrestored Veteran bikes. 
I have a CAD model of the Triumph Chaincase so I'm able to CNC machine one but I would prefer the original parts if I can find them.

British Bikes / Veteran Triumph find

Hello Forum,
I recently purchased a fairly complete matching number 1913 Triumph. Iv repaired the original Tank and replaced the Bearings and that's pretty much all it needed. It even came with the original pedal cranks (not shown in photo). The only parts I'm missing are a pair of original Veteran Footrests and a Maggie chain/timing cover if anyone can assist?

Another survivor from the Bendigo region, it was mentioned briefly in Rob's book A-Z.
Thought to be the remains of the only surviving W.A.K found this one last week. I was hoping to purchase it but the owner says he will only trade it for Delage parts.

Thanks Leon,
I'm still looking for a correct period Carby, the one on the EWB will be ok to get it running.
EWB Frame Number: 249
Nice old Hartley Image below

I did say it's a long shot.
The Bike was found in Bendigo. I originally thought it may be a Hartley.
That's great news Leon, I'v been looking for a copy of the "A-Z of Australian-Made Motorcycles" for several years. How far away from publication are you?
There is a bit of a list on the website below, I assume its from Rob's original Book.

I'm currently working on a 1912 E.W.B (Built in Melbourne), luckily I could still make out the lettering on the Tank with this one. Another stroke of good luck was finding an original 1912 Sarolea Engine with EWB cast into the crankcase.
Unfortunately I didn't have the original Tank for the mystery bike, I had to fabricate one.

Thanks all.

Identify these bikes! / Mystery Australian assembled Bike

Its a long shot, I know.
Wondering if anyone with a knowledge of early Australian assembled bikes can assist with the identification of my mystery bike?
I found the remains about 12 months ago in central Victoria and the previous owner was very confident that Bike had originated in the region. This may be a clue. Like most early Australian Bikes, it was assembled from imported parts, Fafnir Engine, Chatter Lea frame Lugs, Brown and Barlow Carby and an Open type Bosch Magneto. These parts all seem to be original to the Bike.
With absolutely nothing stamper on the frame anywhere and using the imported parts as a rough guide, the Bike seems to date to around 1911.
12 months on and many late nights in the shed, with absolutely no bloody idea of what it was originally looked like, the Bike is now up and running again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in its identification.
