Possibly an early Bridgestone 125 twin, late 60's. Are there any identifiers on the frame or engine?

Cheers

G'day,

It's great to see an honest example of a British commuter doing what it does best - commuting.  Too many old bikes are mollycoddled these days when what they really cry out for is a decent flogging

Good luck with the Bantam; no doubt it'll still be running happily in 10-20-30 years time given the chance!

That's what I recon.... although if commuting is the bantam forte, I wouldn't like to use it for what its not up to!! with a bit of maintenance hopefully it'll go on for a bit.

cheers for the reply, is there much of a brit bike following in Aus?

Quite a large following actually, although they seem to be getting scarce as time goes on, but all in all a healthy scene. There is a monthly publication here called "Just Bikes" which used to have older british bikes as the main selection of bikes for sale, but these are being replaced by older Japanese "Collectors" and the like.

Cheers
