Got the chance of a D1 competition(been checked by the BSAOC its genuine) for not alot of money.Thinking of building it and trialing it.Am I mad or should I polish it and just look at it,think I'll use it how it was intended.

cheers the noo Brian

Trial it.We'll all end up as fossils in the end.

Bought the D1 ,will take a wee bit of work.

cheers the noo Brian

Hi Brian I was just reading abut your D1 and was wondering how it was coming on,

I am trying to restore one myself at the moment and am finding it very hard to get the

correct parts for it.

Cheers Steve.

Hi Steve,

I ended up selling it,preferring to finish of my D7.

cheers Brian

This guy has always had the parts I need for my Bantams. I have re-done a D1, D3, D7 and am now doing a Bushman.

Thanks for that Alan I will drop him an email it would be handy if he has any parts as I am also in the UK.

I have got x2 competition D1 Bantams one rigid and 1 plunger but both fortunatley come as complete bikes.

I have downloaded some photos of these on a web site called flickr if you put in bsa bantam in the search bar and look through the pic's I go under the name bantam steve.

Cheers Steve.

Hi - Can't remember where I got this catalogue from but just incase you do'nt have a copy, a 1949 BSA catalogue including the D1 trials.

Great old ad

But what happened to the bikes and the spares?

Because I have tried to find them and am still having no luck.

Cheers Steve.
