Hi Guys,

I thought you might like to see my recently finished project. This started off as a box of bits on ebay for not much money at all and now we have what could be a reasonably competitive bike that stands me at less than a third of the price I recently sold my BSA trials bike for.

Clearly this is why twinshock trials is becoming more popular!

Wow! top notch SWM there!

Are the forks Gas Gas?

Also, i notice you have put the rear brake lever on the outside of the frame, is it a different lever?

The forks are off a 98 Beta and the brake pedal was made by my Dad - we moved the footrests down and back and modifying the old peal on the inside just didn't work so this was the logical alternative

Hi Guy's,

Hi Dave, and Pete.

I know your dad has again worked really hard on this project.

But how long are you going to keep it for? I know your dads hands get twitchy if he cannot see another project in the pipeline.

Brilliant job though Boy's.

Regards Charlie.

Hi Charlie,

There us plenty to keep his hands from getting too twitchy - there us still a bit of development potential in this one and there us a 1981 SWM TL320 in bits that he's building to sell next

Dave
