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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
