Well, it took (much) longer than I expected to get this bike back together. The forks were too rusted to re-chrome and I took a while finding a suitable replacement, plus I totally overestimated my ability and underestimated the time needed, but I'm sure that this is not an unusual story. I kept going though, usually at the insistence of my young son, "when are we going to work on your motorbike Dad".  Anyway here is  pic of the bike now. MOT next and a bit of fun...

Hi Leon,

Thanks for the info.

I have never used mine in competition, just used off road for fun. Never had any gearbox problems though. I hear you on the trials versions. A peaky two-stroke Puch motor always seemed wrong to me.

Regards,

Rik

This is my modern classic. Built like a Panzer Tank and just as thirsty.

Hi Wetdog,

Thanks for the tips.

I may be being a bit thick, but what's the connection between Wassell and Dalesman? I did notice a reference to Ceriani forks in one of the links, which I think my bike has.

Most of the Google searches I have undertaken take me to American websites. I think most Dalesman motorbikes must have been exported.

Regards,

Rik

Hi everyone,

Finally decided to restore my 1973 Dalesman Sachs enduro after sitting in my shed for the last 18 years.

I would appreciate any help with regard to information about this bike as I have no manuals. I would also be grateful for any help regarding any recommended fork rebuilders and wheel rebuilders in the North West or Lancashire areas.

Regards,

Rik
