Well I've got to say im surprised, i posted a request for info on the Elstar trial bike a while ago, over 700 views but not a thing, usually the combined knowledge of the forum can come up with something.

Thers a good article about the bike on the BSA Otter site if anyones interested, and if you have one of these bikes or know anything about them I'd be very intrested in hearing from you

Just bought an Ajax top end to have a mess with. Undecided what frame to put it in. Going kempton tomorrow to have a look what's about.

Hi Guy's,

 

Hi Deryk.

 

 Just to update what you have said above.

 

Sadly Andy Ross died in a tragic shooting accident, on his grouse moor in Scotland.a few years back.

 

We Have a NEW update on the ELStar page of my web site later today.

Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone can point me towards a source of Elstar tank decals?.

I found one on Ebay some time ago but it was a pretty poor copy. I also found some good looking ones on a classic car/bike decal supply site but forgot to bookmark it and can't find it again.

Any lead gratefully received, I've emailed Charlie "Otter" in hope too.

Hi Dave Norcott has them on his web site  www.classicspeedwayandgrasstrack.com,  what do you have Trials or Grasstracker?

Regards OXBOY

Hi there and thanks a million for that response.

I have an Elstar J.A.P. 500 grass bike,raced it in the 1960's and now, in retirement, doing a rebuild.

The only Elstar trials bike I ever saw was in the SSDT, also in the 60's.

Many thanks again.
