hamblefield Report post Posted April 13, 2006 I might be able to find out what conversion Mick Whitlock did to the bikes for you when I see him tomorrow,(He's my dad) still making trials bikes but not whitehawks any more! I'll see what I can find out for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martinm Report post Posted April 13, 2006 On the subject of modified 340's, anyone know anything about these? Seem to be a few around in Spain, known as Bultaco "Puma" ????? Martin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old trials fanatic Report post Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) Looks like a "Bitza" mostly 340 frame etc, earlier exhaust tailpipe could be a 340 or a 325 engine hard to tell from a piccy. Brake and gearlever swaped over but thats just rider preference using earlier parts again. Guess somebody has found a source of old parts or has had some "remade" but not all as 199B. Wish i could get a front pipe, genuine 340, for mine as only 325 ones seem available withought getting one made using mine as a pattern. Same with side stand.

nigel dabster Report post Posted April 14, 2006 I've definately got a side stand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamblefield Report post Posted April 14, 2006 Mick made swinging arms for comerfords about 30 he thinks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old trials fanatic Report post Posted April 14, 2006 Mr Dabster so you've got a sidestand. Do you want to flog it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel dabster Report post Posted April 15, 2006 Probably, I am moving house so will catalogue it all and see whats there, mail me if there is anything you need specifically Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old trials fanatic Report post Posted April 15, 2006 Just a sidestand, 340 frontpipe mine has a small dent in it and a kickstart as mine is rather past it's best and Dave Renham only has the replica kickstarts which are not the same as the 340 one and 325 frontpipes. He doesnt have any side stands either. If you have either please let me know. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brian davies Report post Posted April 16, 2006 Hello all, I am a new member but an old rider, I started way back in the 70's riding with the Surrey and Crowthorne Schoolboys, then I started the Gwent Schoolboy Trials Club, with the help from my dear old mum. I am looking to get my leg over again after 20 odd years, my bikes were, TY175 then Bultaco 250 and lastly SWM TL320 (sleeved down to 250 for youth trials). I am looking for just the type of bike you are all discussing, can any of you help ?? Would not mind how rough it is as restoring would be half the fun. Would like to get my hands on a Bultaco and SWM (I have already spoken to Martin Mathews about the SWM) Look forward to your replies and to getting back in the saddle !!

old trials fanatic Report post Posted April 16, 2006 Welcome to the loony bin Brian You may struggle to get hold of a Bultaco 199b as the 340 6 speeds dont come up for sale that often. When they do they tend to be around the Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
