neils on wheels Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'm looking to make a change from modern to Pre-65 trials. My father used to work at James so I quite fancy riding one in Sammy Miller series & similar traditional events with roadwork. I've seen some replica bikes at a few trials but do not know where to go to source one. If anyone can recommend supplier(s) I'd be grateful. I'm also interested to know if anyone builds up full bikes in the way Jim Pickering does with the Drayton Bantams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bashplate Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 John Bull at Rockshocks does the DOT replicas, which are a James with a different badge , and they are very nicely made...no idea how much though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bashplate Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Dot a James replica ???? what in a dark room while wearing a welding mask ? LOL, just thought he was after a ready built 2 stroke with a Villiers motor, and it might be worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertight Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Firstly, apologies to old trials fanatic and bashplate for the very poor attempt at humour previously....... Anyway,maybe neils on wheels would like to go to www.bmca.org.uk and look at the results page to see an interesting James ... and rider! A class he might like to consider.... The results of this trial show two Villiers engined rigids heading the intermediate leaderboard....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
