Trials Ariel?

Featured Replies

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.

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

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?

I think TCA is for a 1952 VHA 500cc road bike ?

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.
