Pre-65 Bikes

Is anyone able to post any picures of the Triumph Cub that Tony Calvert rode to win the recent P65 Scottish.

Are leading axle forks allowed in scotland? The front page of T&MX (sorry MX News) from 9th May shows a pair being used.

Just I-ve received the letter of Pre 65 Scottish 2 Days entry. Number 5 and plenty of ilusion to ride again.... Any news about routes, sections ???

I'm fitting together a C15 that has a D shaped air filter container. It does not look like the original design included a gasket for the cover but there are lots of little gaps for dirt to get sucked in. Does anyone have a method for sealing the cover?

I have seen a few pre 65 bikes with grey dense foam seats which appear to have been carved to shape does anyone know what this material is and where you can get it

How many do you have on the back wheel, one or two ?

Any e-mail address available for Martin Adams in Oz?

Hi could any body out ther tell me if Serco is still going, as I have tried the phone number everyday for the last 2 weeks and do the still supply aluminum barrels, big ends and gears.

Ian Roberts (Serco)has decided to show his face on ebay as may0905 If anyone is looking for him Thats the lead.

Can anyone tell me how I can get in touch with Serco or how to use modern fork tubes and yokes /modify Tri Cub Sports 1.375" fork sliders ?

Further to my posting on this forum, i was put in contact with Ian roberts of SERCO, he looks like he came up with all the goods i need for the new Cub build the new engine will be ready at the end of this month question is, has anyone else got a SERCO engined cub here, and whats the best gearing to use with the 250cc engine (i'd ask Ian but hes away on his holidays for 2 weeks !!) and has anyone done a full serco bike with a standard ish frame, i'm looking for some photos of finished bikes.

Anyone interested Martyn Adams has his website up & running http://serco.uk.com/default.asp

Those who know me fairly well know I have a thing about older Italian bikes especially the lightweights in addition to my thing about Spanish strokers. Looking for inspiration to get back into my 55 Morini 175 project I discovered these beauties. Most of course fairly "developed" This one I may have seen before Is it just me that likes this stuff here?

Hello, Further to the other 3TA thread, I have a question about shocks. I've had a read of all the other threads, and Falcon shocks are the ones I'm looking at getting, since they're made in England too, but what 'type' should I be looking at? Do I go for the pre-75 shock designed for limited suspension travel, or actual trials shocks? I'm looking at just the steel ones too. I also don't have a clue about what spring rate and length I should get. I assume it goes on rider weight etc, so I weight about 165lbs in trials gear. A quick google tells me a 3TA weighed originally 340lbs, original shocks were 11.9" long and spring rate 135lbs/in. Wild guess here, but ima…

I'm going to need to purchase some new rear shocks soon for my Bantam, I'm leaning towards Rock Shocks but would welcome opinions, experiences etc... What say you?

Hi Guys i'm after some info on Ariel short stroke motors I've got the start of a project ie a bottom end crank cases steel flywheels later rod also a 350 head which I've been told can be modified to fit a 500 short stroke barrel there are a number of people selling these are any more preferable for this mod as I think i'll have move the head bolt hole centers ?

What bits are needed to convert a standard engine into a short stroke ? Anybody have contact details for Mick Dickinson, makes heads and barrels ?

I’m looking for a nice exhaust silencer for my Villiers project, I’ve had a look around and all I can find are 4 stroke silencers?

My B40 currently has silent block swinging arm bushes. I've felt for a while that the rear suspension has a slightly dead feel to it, and wonder if replacing the bushes with same would improve it. Alternativly, having some bronze (?) bushes made up with grease nipples. Any thoughts / experience ? Thanks Ross
