Hi all, I found this forum while searching for information about Bultaco Alpinas. I have a chance to purchase a '74 350 Alpina 116. I had one of these back in the 70's and am really thinking about buying it. The problem is that I will have to sell my 1972 Honda TL 125 to make room for it. I'm just a new fan of trials and don't have many opportunities to compete. I read a thread on this site from a few years back and wondered if anyone had a new ideas/opinions about the alpine as a amateur trials bike? Thanks for any advice.

Can anybody advise me on which plate to use so I can manipulate to shape . Thought 6mm thickness but open to your knowledge . Plus thinking of 3mm sheet to make a side panel .

hi, who went to the telford show, what did you think of it, was there anything new to the scene, and did you get some bargains

Hello I've recently bought this Tiger Cub built by Fred Hardy; I have his hand written notes on the various mods he had built into it. I believe that Fred sold the bike to Phil Clarkson of Leyland some time ago. Does anyone recognise the bike? Will the modifications mean that it would have to enter as a "Special" in Pre 65 club trials? Thanks Magnus

Hi does anyone know where I can obtain any engine parts to rebuild a 250 trials engine

Firstly apologies, i am useless with ignition systems, and this one is so simple !! ​I have a Honda TL125 hat was running, as i didnt have a stop switch fitted yet, and as i had a connection in th the black lead that comes out of the stator coil (?) (one on left of engine, i pulled it apart and the engine stopped. Then straight away connected it back up and no spark at all. ​Then after a bit of messing, connected the lead to the white one coming out of the stator coil (?) - it then started - i then put my hand over the carb to stop the bike - it now wont start on either connection and only occassionally has a spark when connected to the white lead.? ​What have i done…

Hi Guys Picked up the 1957 Royal Enfield Clipper frame & Bullet incomplete engine for long term Trials project from auto jumble. I know guys are using crusader frame and bullet engine .. not sure about clipper . surely it is lighter frame. Question .. does the frame need lot of modification. does it worth doing it. Regards

Restoring a 199B bultaco for twin shock competition and curious if converting to the type of rim that uses the external type spoke as opposed to the through the rim type spoke would be an advantage?

I am doing research into the Cotton Mickmar project and am looking for a photo of the bike. I have this newspaper article with a of Eric Lee holding the frame he built for the Mickmar engine. I have been in touch with Michael Martin who made the engine and John Close who rode the bike for a season for the Cotton factory and they have no photos of the bike either. Any help would be much appreciated

Hello All, I've recently acquired a James Cotswold Scrambler which was raced in Southern California in the late 50's. The engine is a 7e Villiers unit and is missing most of the clutch side components. I was wondering what the best options are for a clutch in a trials conversion. I have seen the 9E multi plate used with slight modification and have even heard of a modern alternative. I look forward to your thoughts. Cheers, Ben

Do people ride the early Challengers in Classic Trials? They were a light 250 bike in their time, and with a big sprocket, I was wondering how they might work with that leading link front suspension. Bars might be a bit wide, but that can be changed. Greeves may have built a better Trials bike in 1964, but the Challenger seems like it could be good... with a few changes. What do you guys think? Thanks

I just bought a trial bike a Bultaco Sherpa 350 but I don't know what type of Bultaco it is? The tank is strange and if I compare with other tank from the opening is not in the center of the tank. I have the paper and the bike build is 1975. ON the last picture (yellow), what is this part? Thank you

The way the acu rules are for the classic championship in my opinion could do with revising. At the moment there are 5 classes. Pre 65
