bultaco49 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi Greeves There is a good site at - http://www.simplywizard.co.uk/index.htm - which will help out with the James frames modifications and identification. The Uk FB club site is at http://www.francis-barnett.co.uk/ Some good examples of early James & FB photos at - http://www.classicbikes.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ - (click on enter then look under trials). There are 50s & 60s trials bikes as they were before all sorts of things sneaked into their forks etc! Look out for the photo of Bill Lomas (double 350cc world roadracing champ) riding a rigid James to the first national trial win on a two stroke machine. I am in the process of buying an interesting 1951 rigid James so I'll have some more info after Christmas. Felices fiestas y pr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
