greevesrob Report post Posted August 21, 2019 Julian isn't the only 1 who thinks greeves is the way to go. Good geometry as standard just a little more weighty than other frames 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greevesrob Report post Posted August 22, 2019 Not sure of the exact weight but there was a massive difference in weight in my frame to my dad's ddr james frame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trialsrfun Report post Posted August 25, 2019 Greeves made their frames from Reynolds 531 tubing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmitchell Report post Posted August 25, 2019 Came across this. Nothing to do with pre65 but interesting considering in the 60''s, apart from a Cub, nothing was much under 320 lbs. Or is my memory confused again? Doubt that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

on it Report post Posted August 27, 2019 The only thing to prosper in pre 65 is the people making the trick parts/frames that is a must have ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not true, its a small market and they are more enthusiasts than business people. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusty ken Report post Posted October 12, 2019 I don't know my trials history particularly well, but understood that Greeves was one of the preffered trials bikes to be riding in the late 60's ( or was that just the publicity) Pre 65 trials seems to have gone rhrough a series of fads over the last few years moving from pre units to Cubs, Bantums, James, and Triumph twins. Is there a reason why Greeves appears to have largely dropped out of fashion and not been "modernised" like some of the other makes? There seem to be a few still being riden in the big events, but not being developed to the same extent as the bantums etc? Does this mean they could be the next big thing, or was most of the development already delivered by the factory in the '60s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so easy to modernise the steering head angle on a Greeves? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
