January 5, 200917 yr The fact is it must be easier to list the handful of brands that have not made a trials bike. It depends how far back you want to go. I imagine nearly every British manufacturer had a trials bike, or comp model as they were called, on the books at some time as it was just a case of a high level exhaust, smaller mudguards and possibly tyres with guaranteed sales to the Promenade Percies if not the real comp boys. Even George Brough rode the eponymous Superior in trials. And BJ still hasn't contributed so there must be more to come. Edited January 5, 200917 yr by 2/4

January 5, 200917 yr There is good reason for me asking this which will become apparent in time Anything to do with the extra 'menu' item?
January 5, 200917 yr Not forgetting Duncan MacDonald's MACs. From Macclesfield. I had one with an OSSA 250 engine, but I believe there were Bult-engined beasties and maybe even Mont-motored ones ...
January 5, 200917 yr And another. Silk. Made by George Silk of Derby and partially developed by my dad. My brother Davy rode it in a Wetherby schholboy national in about 1980!

Were they the ones riveted together, with an extra pair of sprockets on the swinging arm, for perfect chain tension ?
