April 19, 201511 yr Do all the Jackson Ariel frames have the oil filler on the side of the frame, or did some have it on the down pipe similar to the Bartram frames?
May 16, 201511 yr Just to let you know in the past i put oil filler the on the left side of enlarged rear gussets. Did this when Sammy sold my frames and also when Martyn Adams used my frames. John Bartram
May 16, 201511 yr Hi Guy's. Ken, the Jackson framed Ariel we have has the filler cap for the oil similar to the ones on the "Otter" frames. The John frame we have has a seperate oil tank, Dave Dawson's old frame. The other John frame is still with the person who is building the bike so I don't know. The Booker 350 Ariel bike we have, was built in a shed by another Yorkshire Classic guy. I love this bike just because it has been built using tools from the sixties, IE, Hacksaw and file. Even the alloy yokes were made this way. Bring back originality, Yes. Regards Charlie.
