bobtlr Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 hey , found an article on sammy miller's pre 65 replica he used in the '90s would that sort of bike be competitive today? its 225lbs and has a modified front roadholder fork (not a modern in old sliders) i guess a bike like that would be quite easy to make as there are no big mods on it, stil i don't get how it can only weigh 225 lbs. wat does a "mildly millerised" stock pre 65 ariel weigh (so using alloy engineplates, real pre 65 brakes, ...) i guess the super trick bikes are not really a must to be competitive in pre 65? someone i know had one (120kg long stroke 600 cc) and was verry good with that bike (eurocup winner) regards bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntmaster Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 stil i don't get how it can only weigh 225 lbs. wat does a "mildly millerised" stock pre 65 ariel weigh (so using alloy engineplates, real pre 65 brakes, ...) That's a pretty standard weight for a "Millerized" HT (including my own) using common aftermarket bits. Some have been whittled down to 200-205 lbs depending on who you talk to. Either figure is a long way off of a production HT and very close to my old Honda TL250 in fact! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subira Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 There's a pic of Duncan Macdonald's Ariel in Classic Dirt Bike Issue 10, Page 32, it looks very tidy, as you'd expect. Not sure how period the forks are as they look very similar to those on Woody's Majesty that is in the same shot - and those aren't standard either . Knowing Duncan the finish will be 'factory' but very definitely not standard. Haven't seen any close ups of Duncan bike anywhere, but it would be worth a look at when considering what to do. This issue of Classic DB is a bit of an Ariel fest, as they test Gaunties 'slightly modded' version over a couple of pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
