Greeves

There are not many Photo's of Greeves trials bikes in the Gallery apart from a Scottish, so I dug out a few of my own A TES from Sammy Millers Museum.

Anybody got any news or has the current economic climate stymied them?

Has any body else seen the new video of phil disney trying out the new Greeves. Now is it just my eyes or does the rear mudguard strangely shorten it self half way through the vid. I f so where did it go ,is it extreme weight saving or something more mysterious ?

Has anyone seen or purchased the new Greeves? Ive had a look on there website and it seems very out of date (Sept 2010), no mention of the Scottish trial?

Just finished rebuilding my 24tes New seals, bearings,rebore piston and was advised to go for a new amal now I have two new problems, first she's an absolute pig to start tried flooding it with the tickler no choke then with choke then after loads of kicks she'll fire then on to fault 2 it will tick over for about 10 seconds then it will rev to the max and can't be stopped on the kill switch only using the gearbox and brakes, it's got new gaskets on the inlet and a new oring on the carb, so now I've dropped on the original amal monobloc and with one tickle fired up with two kicks it runs ok but it's really wooly of the bottom, does anyone have any ideas is it me or is thi…

Hi Can anyone tell me if they have information on the type of Puch engine that was fitted to the Greeves Pathfinder? Big finned head. Where can spares be sourced from? Complete engine? How much do you think if i can find one? Look forward to your answers - can you email me direct please? Cheers

Hi, I went riding today at a local practice area in the midlands, parked up next to a van with greeves signs all over it, as we rode down we saw two new greeves being tested buy a top trials rider I won't say who just incase I should not mention Who it was!! I know there seems to be alot of negative people out there who have already knocked it! But it certainly looked like it could cope with everything thrown at it! Anyway it's good to see another bike manufacturer back on the scene and british company aswell!! Let's hope they get more support! Rij

Greeves in action.Oh yes

https://www.trialscentral.com/news-archive/uk-trials-news/21206-manchester-17-mcc-ltd-open-fisher-trial-2020 Well done Liam good to see a Greeves winning against such strong and more modern opposition

I just finished reading an article on Don Smith.I really admire that era of riders because many of them did it all as far as develope,build and ride well. I don,t know much about Greeves other than I like the unique looks and would love to try one out.It had a picture of him on his newly debuted 1964 SSDT bike that he had modified and extensively lightened. I,m just curious what the production one weighed and if anyone has an idea as to what his modified bike weighed? From what I,ve read it seems like Mr. Smith would have been great fun to hang out and ride with as well as learn from.

Well Santa has packed his Sleigh away for another year. The Greeves is all ready to go. First Trial Kicks off next week.

Can anybody point me in the right direction of where to go for a 60 tooth sprocket for my '58 Scottish, please? Thanks.

Its all set to happen at the SSDT for the new Greeves - said to be fielding a three man Team Greeves - wonderfull news, and a real opportunity to prove its worth for the team who have built it and developed it so far. I remember when the first Greeves I saw in the SW Centre back in the late 1950's brought out hillarious outbursts amongst us riders, however, we changed our tune very quickly when Bert Greeves and Derry Preston Cobb got to work and engaged the top development riders of the day and produced the fine Greeves Trials bikes that won just about everything to be had, not to mention their motocross successes,road racing successes and their road going bikes. I thin…

There are three Greeves entered in the Scottish, saw them being prepared in the Parc Ferme today.

Hi, I have a Greeves bitsa, basically a 1960 SCS Hawkstone, which has been set up for trials with footrests mounted on the s/a spindle, brake pedal shortened to suit, trials engine plates complete with side stand, Parkinson conversion with thick Tufnol spacer and a trials top fork"yoke" with the ends of the curve pointing forward. Is it the case that all the fork main "H" pieces are the same and a scrambles top yoke with ends of the curve pointing backwards will convert the forks to scrambles trail?. I also think I'll need scrambles engine plates which give a slightly different weight distribution?. I've read the books and done the googling but am stumped, any ad…

Hi sorry to sound dumb Just picked up a greeves Scottish 24 tcs Could anyone let me know the optimum 2 stroke oil to use in this bike and what recommended ratio Cheers in advance

Hi Guys sorry bit going off topic. i am interested to know what are those forks.? i once own DOT .. but they are different , what are model of those and where i can get them ? Regards

Hi people , question please , is Greeves Motorcycles still on the go ,,, Richard Deal

Have these sheds made it to Scotland then?

I'd appreciate it if someone could put a caliper on the stanchion tubes of their early or late (banana) leading link fork and tell me the diameter and wall thickness. I have a hazy memory that the banana fork is 1.75" /44.5mm OD but I don't have any notes confirming that. I think the wall thickness was .062"/1.5mm. I've never had a chance to measure the early 1960s fork so I don't know if the tubing size was the same. If while you are there you could tell me the size tubing in the link that would be nice. thanks, Michael
