stevefolger Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 hey, basically I have a old bullet with the later twin shock Reddich frame, brought it about ten years ago as a project and thought it was a road bike as it was wearing most of that trim though once I got stuck in the frame had some differences that were causing me some headscratching, basically the differences are: *had the mount for springer seat but cut off to fit the road seat at some point *the frame never had rear footrest hangers(what originally confused me) *the original paint under the black 'respray' is olive green From that I'm assuming it was once a trials model just wondering if anyone can help shed a bit of light on this one for me as haven't managed to find a lot of info, Thanks in advance for any help, steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefolger Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Front of the head stock has a couple of bits ground back like this, don't know if it has relavence Two raised sections where it looks like old have had a mount for a springer seat Not the best photo but kinda showing the paint underneath Was a bit dark to get a good pic of where the hangers would be but this area of the frame is untampered, the nacelle/wheels/mudguards are my own additions so wouldn't base anything on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Hi steve, Don't worry overly much about the green frame colour - it was an option on most of the models from Redditch from time to time over the years.

stevefolger Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I should have come to you guys sooner! Spent years reading old articles/books and never came across that gem about the frame colour being a option, thanks laird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi steve, If you really want help - then waste £12 on a subscription to our digital magazine ORRe. Why? Because none of the people involved in the magazine are journalists just 'tidying' up whatever duff information is fed to them by the marketing departments wanting to just sell more product. Everybody involved is/was an active motorcyclist first and foremost - I only bought a car when our family began to expand........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
