Yeah I know and Faber Otter type too. I just prefer that one.

Hi folks. Does anyone know who made the frame for that rather nice and expensive BSA C15 for sale in the adds. Too expensive for me but would like a good frame to build my own.

That's great I'll try him tomorrow. Yes am worried will get carried away!!

Hi all, can someone confirm Jim Pickerings contact details for me and when is best to catch him. Got a bantam project on the go and after some upgrades. Cheers Steve

The triumph adventurer was basically a unit bsa frame, b25/b50 oif with the triumph twin engine fitted in it for trails, green lane work.

I think some of the smaller cc Fantics had 32mm Marzocchi forks

Hi Frank, I remember you visiting in 1984 and coming to the house. The painting is still hanging in the same place. Many thanks for the message of condolences and happy memories of my dad. I will let my mum know. Steve Cooper.

If anyone knows where there is a Cooper Bantam tucked away in a corner or is available please let me know. I would like to get hold of one of my dad bikes even if just the frame to build up. It would be a nice memory to have and use. Cheers Steve

Hi All, Anyone know where I can get some rickman brake shoes for my trials bike. Front and back. Thanks Steve

Hi all, Have a 250 replica james I have recently finished. The only problem is the carb. I have it on a MK1 amal 24mm, 20 pilot, 130 main and 105 needle with the clip in the top notch. The slide is a brass one and is a 3. Whilst it was fine at the previous trial it ran really rich on Saturday and cost me marks. The carb is a nearly new one so don't think there are any issues there. I am open to ideas as know they can be a bit funny on carburation. Thinking of a dellorto as they are faily cheap on e-bay. Any views welcome. Cheers Steve

Hi All, Anyone know where I can get a decent trials gear lever for my james ? Cheers Steve

Not sure of the year. Can i find out from the frame number etc ??

Hi All, Dragged my dad's RTL250 out the garage. Its been sat there several years and shows it!!! Its been done in Rothman's colours and has a home mades front disc conversion on it. Hopefully all the bits are there to turn it back to standard. Looking to get it up and running so it can be used. Rather spend the money on that than aquiring another twinshock!!!. Looking for any help and advice on spares, restoring, paintjob's etc before I launch into it. Had a Seeley Long long ago before went down the mono yam route then had a rest from trials for too long but getting into it again now. Cheers Steve.

Hi All, After some new trials jeans as have very old ellgrens. Would like some with padded knees as always bash them. Cost in mind as always but which ones are the best to go for Hebo, Jitsie, Cliche, XC-ting etc. Help appreciated. Steve

Bug***. Was not meant to be. Maybe next time.

Hi All, Have a rickman hub to build up for the rear of my James. Anyone know where I can get a flangless rim for it? Some cheap Mitchelin X11's would be good too!!! Cheers Steve.

Just spotted this on e-bay and then it was gone, ended!!! Was it what I think it was ?? Majesty Steve

Hi Folk's Looking to get a couple of air boxes made for the trials bikes, greeves and james, to help with the breathing etc. Anyone got any contacts for people who do this provide kits etc. Cheers Steve.

Cheers Bo will do.

Hi Folks, Has anyone got a number for Alan Wright as thinking of buying one of his james frames. Will be a bit lighter than the greeves one i have at the minute. Here they are a bit cheaper than the Alan Whitton ones. Cheers.

Did you mean your bike or just the tank cover flowerpot !!!

Hi thanks for that. The grey matter is not that bad after all. If anyone here's of one or knows of one for sale I would be very intersted. Cheers Steve.

Thanks Woody. You mean like this one !! Golner 250 Maybe the mist of time has clouded my memories as thought he did some twinshocks too. I thought I saw one at the scarborough two day trial but it may have been a tlr with a one piece tank and seat unit. It did sound nice as well as go well. Cheers.

Hi all, Am getting back into trials riding after more than a few years off. Had a honda Seeley before several Yam mono's. Would really like a fourstroke again and twinshock for best of all options. Always thought the Golner honda's looked the buisness but could not afford one back then. Are they increadably rare and am I dreaming or can anyone point me in the direction of one. Cheers Steve.
