charlie prescott Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Guy's You know I do not want to get dragged into this discution, But What ever. Firstly we have to drop this "Pre65" thing and be sencible and start calling the bikes, "Britshocks". Now the first ever trials bike I built way back in 1959 was based on a plunger framed James. Not good ehy. Well eventualy the hacksaw came out, and frame tubes were altered has you can imagine, and then the frame was welded back up with a Stick "Ark" welder, practise on these frames gave me the skill as a welder in later life. From that day on every other trials bike that I owned had the frame changed in one way or another, even the top tube on a Greeves Scottish was lengthened. as the result of a crash with a tractor, and that bike always steered better after that!! So frames were modified from "DAY ONE" and is still the case today. When is a replica not a replica??? :thumbup: Regards Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
