Who Can Identify These Bikes.
« on: November 30, 2012, 07:42:24 AM »
So I managed to identify a few them. From left to right the first one, I believe, is a 1947 Velocette KSS 350. Second one is a Douglas Mark III I think. I don't know what the third one is, I can't make out the make on the tank for the life of me. The fourth, is a 1965 Francis Barnett Flacon I think. The fifth and sixth are both Norton's, one model 30 and one model 40 International by my guess. I don't know what the sixth is. The last one is also I Douglas, I'm thinking a 1926 EW 350. Any help would be great. It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out the two I don't know and making sure of the ones I've guessed at.

I think you'll find that the last bike is a Douglas, close to your guess of 1926, but not an EW. The chain drive CW had 26" wheels and a dummy rim brake like this. You could still also get a belt drive TS model in 25-26, but I think most had a rim front brake, even at the end.

The second-to-last bike looks to be also a Douglas, likely a 2 3/4 h.p. TS from the veteran era. Not clear enough to say fr certain.
