Hi,

 

Here is one example, a virtually totally correct bike (the silencer is an improvement sound-wise) of the James rigid competition model, similar to which I had myself many years back!  The photograph was taken more than twenty years ago.

The colour, steel tank and front forks arrangement are also correct on Harry Stanistreet's bike, which I believe is still in the family;

 

There are other examples in our digital magazine,

 

Enjoy.
