September 29, 201015 yr Hi all, This is one of my Dad's old bikes and I was wondering if anyone could help identify it? Could it be the base for a decent Trials bike, In particular the engine? I'm not sure what to do with the bike at the moment and wondered if there was any potential? Thanks.
September 29, 201015 yr Gday, It's a NH 350. I think also that the T suffix means trials. It certainly is a comp model with the high exhaust. The muffler is not standard. I should know this stuff better - I have some Ariels... Its around '54, If you dont want it, just send it to me and it will have a good home! Cheers, Stork

Cheers, Stork I'll send it when your Beta arrives here !!! I've zoomed in on the engine no to try and help ID I was always under the impression it was a 500cc?
September 30, 201015 yr Its a road bike chassis.(It could be an HS scrambles frame,but v unlikely) The engine is a 1952 VHA 499cc,fitted with a later,post 1955 cyl head. The timing cover is an NH (350cc) item which has had the letter T added at a later date.
