dirtrider Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I would be interested to see your bikes next year. Will you be riding any Midland Classic or Peak Classic trials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Havent got a bike thats legal for Midland Classic as they are a bit tight on the spec of bikes. Will try to do some Peak Classic rounds but found the ones at Mick's place a bit on the hard side for an old bugger like me. Hopefully see ya next year :hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebuck Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) the otter framed B40 is almost finished for next year <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's interesting, I'm currently building an Otter C15. It's in Mr Weedy's workshop at the moment having the awkward bits done (exhaust system made up, wheels and forks grafted on). Did you build yours from scratch also? What centres/events do you plan to ride? Edited December 6, 2005 by unclebuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Did i build it from scratch? Well sort of. I assembled it and made parts as required on the lathe etc. Frame from Faber Forks from OSSA Gripper Front wheel SWM Rear hub Billet alloy care of Mr Whitton PVL electronic ignition also care of Mr Whitton Rear shocks care of Mick Andrews Exhaust pipe Sammy Miller Hebo footrests BVM Moto Air box and side panels fabricated and welded care of ME Seat covered by RK Leighton Usual Renthal bars and Amal Levers Bit like most Pre 65 bikes really just assemble what comes to hand or make yourself. I would post a picture but it keeps telling me the file attachment is too big and i dont know how to resize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Try again one more time. Remember as i said it's still got a bit of work to do before next Spring but it's well on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 nice looking bike what make are the rear shocks/ springs? the exhaust box doesn't look like anything in sammys catalogue although it looks fantastic and probably works a treat good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I'm not usually a fan of old bikes seeing as I'm only a youngster but that looks gorgeous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Aww shucks thanks for the nice comments guys. The rear shocks are Mick Andrews Classic shocks that Mick brings over from Spain. The exhaust pipe is a std B40 one from Sammy Miller but the silencer i made myself. I wanted something to keep the bike slim, cant stand the miller one it sticks out and gets damaged too easily so i fabricated this one up. Works fine and sounds really nice. The exit is level with the rear mudguard so deep water is no problem. Just got to finish the bottom engine mount and she's about done. Hopefully the James will be even better and once i get the bits assembled, frame being made next week, then i will post some piccys. Good luck with yours Uncle Buck and have a nice Christmas everybody. :hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted something to keep the bike slim, cant stand the miller one it sticks out and gets damaged too easily so i fabricated this one up. Mine got even less slim after a particularly bad backfire when still dialing in my bike. It balloooned out to the shape of a barell! Try getting your leg to clear that! The BSA looks great.
