Greeves

I have a totally standard 1958 Greeves Scottish in road going trim. I intend to make a few modifications to improve its off road use. My main concern is what gearing should I be using? Oh, it's a 9E 197cc Villiers engine. It will be used in easy route club trials. I also want to change the standard exhaust to a lighter more robust type. Are there any off the shelf bolt on systems available for the Greeves? Thanks in advance for any information. Many thanks SJL

Hello, can anyone help. I purchased a 1959 Scottish which needed rebuilding. One good point was that the wheels had been rebuilt with new rims and spokes. However when I fit them to the frame the rim does not sit in the middle of the stays whether it be on the front or the rear wheel, in both cases the edge of the rim is in line with the brake hubs. I have tried putting on extra spacers to correct the error but they do not compensate and the wheels still sits off centre of the stays. I believe when the wheels were rebuilt the off set was wrong? Can anyone advise what the off set should be, and or suggest where I might find this information? Thanks in advance. …

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

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 Ive had a look on there website and it seems very out of date (Sept 2010), no mention of the Scottish trial?

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

Have these sheds made it to Scotland then?

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…

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 ?

Greeves in action.Oh yes

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

My '59 Greeves Scottish is running fine now after much ado, but fuel still slops all over the tank (steel one) and my trousers when riding offroad. It has a new filler cap but it still leaks. Is this a common ailment and is their an effective solution ?. Cheers Paul
