My 1956 Ariel Colt.

Featured Replies

Restored by me last winter, pictures during the rebuild are in particular order ,The gear leaver was off at the time of taking the last pictures and the front brake cable needed connecting as well.

Also found out the bike has a 1949 front tyre on it as well!

Still got a few bits and bobs left to do to her.
