gautrek Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) here you go a shot of a pre war Panther Stroud. I do like the holes on the mudguard stays. This is taken at the factory in Cleckheaton in 1946 Edited December 17, 2013 by gautrek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi, Did you realise it was named the Stroud as a result of success in the British Experts, held in the Stroud area on occasion pre-war? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Tyres may not be made of soft rubber but they do not lack tread grip or depth. A great bike I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi, I've hunted another Panther Stroud image from my Offroadarchive. It depicts Bill and Mick Wilkinson's Dad, Dick, riding his Panther Stroud in the Allan Jefferies Trophy Trial in 1952. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi, Another Panther Stroud, not a pre-war, but about a 1947, ridden by Chris Woodcock in the Talmag Trophy, photo from offroadarchive. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi, This really is an interesting old beast, belongs to Dave Thornber of the Yorks Classic club and, although I'm not sure, I feel it started life as a pre-war Stroud with girder forks on to which Dave grafted the teleforks - which look right in themselves. Anyway, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Dave in action on the beast - and he always seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Cheers.

I think its the same frame and forks as the 47 bike you have in the previous photo. But fitted with a Sloper Red Panther engine as people seem to like the earlier engines more.

laird387 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Hi, Another devotee of the Stroud was ORR subscriber Alan Cox, here's an image from offroadarchive of Alan in action in about 1999.
