Got the chance of a D1 competition(been checked by the BSAOC its genuine) for not alot of money.Thinking of building it and trialing it.Am I mad or should I polish it and just look at it,think I'll use it how it was intended.

Hi Brian I was just reading abut your D1 and was wondering how it was coming on,
I am trying to restore one myself at the moment and am finding it very hard to get the
correct parts for it.
Cheers Steve.

This guy has always had the parts I need for my Bantams. I have re-done a D1, D3, D7 and am now doing a Bushman.

Great old ad
But what happened to the bikes and the spares?
Because I have tried to find them and am still having no luck.
Cheers Steve.
