    h Post war yes Richard but what year ? It is a military aplication though but may be designed and tested by a civilian company. Keep guessing
  2. Ian L
    No ! only warm Tony.

    Can you guess what this invention is & the year for double points ? Standard Tilly Helicopter ?
  4. Ian L
    Top man Richard, its full of gems as you know.
  5. Ian L
    I know your right Tony which is why I said £50

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182448529585?ul_noapp=true Its a start if you can get it for £50 ? chassis has been cut down & I'm not sure its got the correct hubs / axle ? but spring hangers are correct.

    I'm in discussion by email with Ron's mate Lex & there's a chance that a batch of repos where the rifle sits on top of the handle bars may be made in the near future ?

    Of course another option is you could always sell the wife & keep the gun

    Saved another Men's BSA 'War Time Finish' bike yesterday in fantastic original condition plus period dynamo lighting & war grade tyres (seller fitted the modern saddle) From my research this is early WW2 as it has rubber pedals & a lovely BSA headstock badge, later in the war they went to a BSA decal on the headstock & wooden pedals. The reason these men's bikes are so rare is they are broken up for parts as the tyres, wheels, rear sprocket, brake levers, cables, handle bars grips & saddle are the same as the Para Bike.

    Saved this postwar (1960 ish) compressor trailer yesterday which will be very useful for parts in the restoration of my prewar one. The roof assembly is almost the same plus the legs, jockey wheel & towhitch.

    Done some research & found that this one is pre-war (about 1936) and converted from a petrol engine to electric motor quite early on in its life, correct me if I'm wrong please.

    This guy on ebay is making repos & listing them as WW1 but when I sent him a message about the WW2 clips he said these are also WW2 as the pattern he used & still has is dated 1942. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361890005737?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    And he's selling a post-war Phillips. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1940s-Phillips-Mk-V-Military-Bicycle-Vintage-Antique-bike-WW2-or-Korean-War-/361897331051?hash=item5442c3096b:g:mQUAAOSwImRYla4f

    There another one on ebay for more than twice what I paid & nowhere near as good condition. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361897320689?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Picked up the bike this morning & its in much better condition that the photos showed, nice big chunky pedals. Anyone know what the stencilling means ? and date it from the frame number ?
  17. Ian L
    Hi Ron PM sent to Les but nothing back yet, cant find a date on the rack. I love 'the chase' its almost the best bit of restoration :undecided:
  18. Ian L
    Went round to see a mate today at his scrap yard to 'chew the fat' and as I went into the porch to knock the front door laying on the floor was this cycle rack. Unbelievable that one turned up within 24 hours of finding the bike. Now all I need are the gun clips like the ones in these 'library' photos
  19. Ian L
    Hi Ron could PM or email me his email address please mate, cheers Ian
  20. Ian L
    Hi Alex I'm resurrecting this thread as I now have myself a BSA mk5 (well on Sunday I will) what can you tell me about this bike such as what's missing ? And where might I get some rifle clips from ? original or repo ? Regards Ian
  21. Ian L
    Now you've been told Tony go & sit in the corner with your Dunces hat on and write out 1,000 times 'I will not !!!!'

    And if anybody wants to 'don' their Flares & re-live their final school days at 16 I am selling my last complete / unrestored Ti 6 speed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232226372377?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  23. Ian L
    That's the same lamp as mine Ed, has it also got AM stamped on the rim ?
  24. Ian L

  25. Ian L
