Cheers, Edited September 28, 201114 yr by Pat
September 29, 201114 yr Hi Guy's You know I do not want to get dragged into this discution, But What ever. Firstly we have to drop this "Pre65" thing and be sencible and start calling the bikes, "Britshocks". Now the first ever trials bike I built way back in 1959 was based on a plunger framed James. Not good ehy. Well eventualy the hacksaw came out, and frame tubes were altered has you can imagine, and then the frame was welded back up with a Stick "Ark" welder, practise on these frames gave me the skill as a welder in later life. From that day on every other trials bike that I owned had the frame changed in one way or another, even the top tube on a Greeves Scottish was lengthened. as the result of a crash with a tractor, and that bike always steered better after that!! So frames were modified from "DAY ONE" and is still the case today. When is a replica not a replica??? :thumbup: Regards Charlie.
