charlie prescott Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Hi Guy's . Hi Steveo. Well I don't know a lot about the winning Triumph twin ridden by Steve, but I have been told that it had a modified standard frame, but Steve was considering a Royal Enfield lightweight Crusader frame, but the biggest advantage was the use of the knowledge of the boys from "Maxton", and the forks could have had there cassette units fitted, along with there superior rear twin-shock units. but this is only what I have been told by a third party. Neils Ariel that finished second, I suspect was the same bike that was featured in the Classic Dirt Bike magazine. This had a Mick Grant built engine, in a Paul Jackson frame, forks internals and legs from a Cagiva trail bike, fork yokes and hubs in alloy,from Alan Whitton, a belt drive driven clutch, from a later Beta trials bike, a Pal Speedway magneto, and a modified Villiers S22,carb tuned by his father Peter. And Rockshock rear units. If I find any other details I will let you know. :thumbup: Regards Charlie. Edit forgot the Rockshocks, Edited May 2, 2011 by charlie prescott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie prescott Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi Guy's. Hi Steveo, I have been sent a photograph. of Steve Saunders Scottish winning "TriField", by a friend of mine that had some input into the machine, as you can see it has the Maxton suspension units fitted, amongst other parts. I have had to put the photo onto my web site in the Gallery, as it is to big to load onto here until I can modify it. Go to.http://www.bsaotter.com/ Regards Charlie.

charlie prescott Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Guy's. I like the flapper valve on the fuel tank, I made one of them out of a party popper in 1964. Nice to know the old things come back around? Don't knock the bike though, British engineering at its best. A true "Britshock". Regards Charlie.
