motomike Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Did Steve Wilson ever make a Montesa frame ? Bultaco yes for sure,but Montesa ?????????????? Has anyone got a pic of the Don Smith Stag to compare it to ? And the footrest mounts , sure look similar to Cheney, but not the footrests.

peterb Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I was also thinking it may be more akin to the Don Smith Stag but I don't have a photo handy to refer it to. I think though the Stag would have had an earlier Montesa motor, the one in the photo looks like it is from a 348/349. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Too late a set up to be a 'Stag' as the bike developed by Don Smith with a Montesa motor was ridden by him in the 1971 SSDT, the motor is a much later model. Don then developed the Kawasaki after that around 1972/73. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsrfun Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Could it possibly have been made by Keith Horsman from Silsden Yorks. Keith made frames for all the Spanish bikes at one time or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzukitc120 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello just been having a look at the mystery montesa frame i dont know that it is one of the Steve Wilson ones as i think his swinging arms were square as in the black and white photo and not round as on the Mont.I only know this as I have a square section swinging arm (chromed) in the garage and it is also open to the rear of the spindle as in the b/w photo. Can't remember who bought the frame off me it went with a white framed bultaco i once had,and was not stamped or have any sort of serial numbers on it. (the chrome one that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
