Be careful it not overheating, bantams have a tendency to run hot
-
What about the 2 advertised for today on the TC Home page?
But I do agree with Big John, we should respect the fallen
-
Maybe a trial, a donation to the British Legion and 2 minutes silence at 11am?
-
I run a small machine shop, which is very handy building bikes. But it doesn’t seem to stop the price spiralling away!
-
The bikes looking good, but the workshop wiring's shocking (literally)
-
2k = Isocyanate paint, a good way to kill yourself (slowly and horribly)
-
If you did all that for less than a grand, that good going!
The motor was for a bantam rolling chassis that I built some time ago, but I’ve had a change of plans.
I’m now after a Greeves that I can fit this motor to, the bantam now has another engine fitted.
Failing that if anyone wants to buy a fully rebuilt 32a motor it may appear in the classifieds shortly…
-
I did a silly thing today, I totalled up how much I have spent on my engine rebuild (a Villiers 32a)
Including the buying the engine its cost just over £900 and I still haven’t got an ignition yet!
I didn’t expect it to cost so much, the last time I rebuilt a complete engine it cost less than £300!
-
I've made some inserts for the headstock on my bantam
-
Sorry, not a dig at you. But it will start the pre65 haters off again
-
Oh no here we go again....
-
I’ve seen a couple of trailers that dismantle / fold-up for storage they don’t take up much more room than a bike rack
May be an option?
-
It looks like the orginial Villiers bearing (Hoffmann) and its never had a bearing turn in the housing.
The only thing I can think is Villiers had QC problems and used some oversize bearings!
-
My Nan had the rule across the knuckles at school which permanently damaged her hand!
Not forgetting those childhood favourites, Polio & TB
The good old days....
-
Do you know what the length is?
-
Just stripped down my 4 speed gearbox, the bearing on the output shaft seems to have a coating of copper on it, I presume it’s a 6205 bearing but it measures .002” over size?
I’ve tried a 6205 bearing on the casting and it’s a slide fit at best, I presume the copper coating is to pack it out, has anyone had a similar experience?
Or does it use a special bearing?
-
That’s very true, but it probably say more about the state of modern trials rather than the classics!
The classic bike prices are getting ridiculous, but if you shop around you can still get a well-priced classic.
-
I’m looking for a nice exhaust silencer for my Villiers project, I’ve had a look around and all I can find are 4 stroke silencers?
-
I reckon he’s on the minimum wage, luncheon vouchers and his entries are paid for with petty cash
-
does the front wheel clear the frame?
-
-
-
What’s your annual salary?
Doubt you will ever find out as it’s there private business
-
I did have a look, but I couldn’t see one listed
-
I’ve broken the ignition cover on my pro (again), I’ve tried all the usual suppliers and none seem to have any in stock. Is this a symptom of their demise?
Anyone know where to get one from?
