Thanks Rex and Don!!

From what I can see BSA didn't make rigid bikes in 1968 (It definitely looks like a rigid rear end), Am I right?

I do prefer the single spring seat rather than a dual seat.

Thanks again

British Bikes / 1968 bsa bantam

Hi All,

I've come across this Bantam, The guy is looking £1000 for it (I might be able to get him down to £900), he said it runs well but can be hard to start.

I have attached an image. Also I was wondering is this the standard seat for this model?

Is there any important questions I need to ask him?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Esometisse,

Why do you say not to restore it?

Hi All,

This is my first post. I have always been a big classic bike fan and am looking for a first time restoration project but not looking to spend alot (Who is!!) I am looking to start off with an easy enough project (No Engine work)

I have found a 1950 Royal Enfield Flea, It is running well and not in too bad condition. It is on for £1000, Is this bike worth it? See attached photo. Also is it normal for that bike to have a battery? see image

I am looking to swap 2 nice Mercedes cars for a restoration bike but no bites.

Thanks in advance!!
