suzuki250 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Does anyone know if a C15 engine will fit into a bantam frame? I’ve built a rolling chassis for my bantam, no engine but I do have 3/4 of a c15 engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't know exactly what's involved to do it, but a C15 engine will go into a Bantam frame. I've seen a few over the years and the person I bought my C15 from about 10 years ago had built one - which is why he was selling the bike I bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Drayton frame has been modified to take a C15 engine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 nice pick of Jim and his drayton stuff..I took one of his framesets from him in june last year and for a zillion good reasons only actually started on it this week. i ve got to say from the off. IMPRESSED. all the mountings line up no need to 'spread' fittings etc .. bolted up and its ready. hopefully will have the head bearings and rear wheel sorted before the end of the week.. the more it snows the more likely!

woody Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Christ Ross, why do you want pictures of Jim's backside... Can get you plenty of pictures of him in sections on his backside... To give him his due, old Snowy does put a nice bike together 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Only thing i would have to change is that bloody Terry Weedy kickstart as they always remind me of the crank you use to open lock gate sluices on the canal. Anybody know how much the frame kit is as his Bantam ones are very competitively priced and i'd like to bet Jims C15 will undercut the Faber, probably better finished from the sound of it too, considerably. Altogether a nice machine and it looks pretty period too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) the bantam frame kit was so reasonable i took the tank,seat and exhaust too.. too good to miss and am so glad i splashed the cash.. all in a nice guy as well.
