christian Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hello all, Can somebody recognise the barrel on my Greeves. This engine is verry soft at low revs and verry powerfull at the same time. I love to ride the Greeves when my Norton is ill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi Christian, I reckon that could be one of the early Parkinson barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Christian, I reckon that could be one of the early Parkinson barrels. Hi leard, if you look at photos of my greeves you can see that the head not greeves or Parkinson, I believe it is a Marcelle barrel and head. What do you think?

laird387 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi Christian, I wondered about Marcelle, but don't remember the slight taper shown on your photo - sadly I can't find any reliable comparison images to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Sorry, it's not a Greeves, Parkinson or Marcelle barrel.My best guess would be a DMW barrel.But what do I know.RegardsSparks Edited November 17, 2015 by sparks2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawil Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 hi lads i still use my 1958 197cc scottish with a chair for long distance trials but as its a bit down on power i dont bother with a passenger just put a small weight in the chair and ride it like a solo,plus my sprint bike is based on a silverstone with a griffon engine , lots of fun , deryk will remember me doing a whole year of championship rounds without a passenger as i kept breaking them that was even more fun .. will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi Will, Like most photographers I don't have many shots of me in action - but do you remember these days, I was riding the Greeves when we lived in Rhayader and started the Cwmderu Classic trials and scrambles, and also ran the first Classic Experts trial in Rhayader, as well as the Frank Jones rounds of the Sammy Miller. But, have a laugh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
