Hoseman Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Just got this bike and no nothing about it. Any info greatly received[ATTACH=CONFIG]80501[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]80502[/ATTACH] Nice little Brockhouse you have there, always been after a Welbike myself. these were used after the war, from 1948 onwards in various marks, and even in The White Helmets Display Team!!(Royal signals dispatch riders display team!!) Speak to Welbike on here, he can point you in right direction for parts and info. A great reference book to get is "From welbike to Corgi", by Peter Miller. Get revised adition its got a bit more in! Got mine on amazon. just had a little peek in the book of knowledge and your frame number makes yours a mark 2, from april 1948 - 1950, engine number should be between 16005 and 24146.

Ron Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Nice fun thing I would think. Please don't go the route of painting it in airborne markings. It's a civilian bike. Enjoy it for what it is IMHO. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've seen so many of these erroneously painted in Airborne markings. I rather go along with Peter Millers research. Like quite a lot of equipment that was trialed and assesed for army use and very quickly rejected. I have no say in what other do with their vehicles. It's just my opinion.
