September 30, 201015 yr I am trying to track down a bike that turned up at a Dabbers trials a couple of years ago It is a Scimitar Ossa. It was built around 1972 by Edgar Stearn nr Cambridge and was a re-framed Ossa with bespoke seat & tank. If anyone knows of it's whereabouts, it would be good to see the bike again.
October 1, 201015 yr Author Think it may have belonged to Andy Abrahams Thanks for the reply, that's one of the earlier cub versions. Cheers Nick
March 12, 20224 yr As far as I know Edgar Stearn built two Scimitars with Tiger Cub engines, one for himself KCE43F (which he still has) the second one for his friend Dave Simons PCE781J. Edgar also built two Ossa engined Simitars one for himself VER651L and another for Trevor Kemp (reg unknown). Their was also a BSA C15 engined Simitar (reg unknown) built for Malcolm Ellis.
