cheers all! i dont know how old it is but he said the wheels are rusted so they must be steel? so i dont know if that is an indication of age pics to follow

morning all got a phone call last night of my girlfriends younger brother (he is 13) all excited that he has been given "an old racer" i haven't seen it yet but he said its an Motobecane an has a Huret rear dérailleur with down shifters he is bringing it around tonight so i can take...

thanks Johnny mine has the holes for a pin spanner - i still need to track one of these down!

after thinking the bottom bracket on my "enfield" was an Chater-Lea, i can now admit i made an mistake i removed the chainset last week an today just started to clean up the bottom bracket (its still in the frame) i have noticed on one of the cups it has stamped "Brampton" the bottom...

thanks for all the info! If the cranks are Nicklin, which they very much look like they are... could that point towards the bike was cheaper or higher end of the bike market? it has a Huret Svelto rear dérailleur (5 speed) identical to this with Benelux down shifter

hello all i think i will repaint it as it should be, the paint on the frame is too far gone to leave it, the metal doesnt seem to be corroded much, im just worried about the brazes etc i have a sandblaster in work so i can "hopefully" get the frame really smooth for some new paint i was...

Fantastic! Thanks, anyone got any info on them? my Google skills must be lacking as i cant seem to find anything

im confused

just removed the chain set off my Royal Enfield an i thought it was a William's its a 3 bolt, exactly the same as this one i believe mine is a C1200? judging on this picture mine looks identical but i cant find any stamps on the arms to say its a Williams?

from this to this just starting to strip bits off the frame apologise for the shocking quality of finished picture (its from my ipod) none of the detail in the badge has been worn away - which i was worried about

sorry mate its gone now....

removed sorry if i offended you.....

the lugs have all been touched up by the previous owner (with a paint roller judging on the state of them!) i think its "unitized" (what ever that means) 531 tubing full spec as per catalogue is Frame: patent "unitized" frame constructed by exclusive welding process of Reynolds "531"...

the only pics i have of the bike is from when i bought it

all i can say is Thank you! i gave the stem bolt a "wack" an the forks basically fell out of the frame marvellous i had kinda forgotten about the wedge thingy

thanks all i will keep you updated

good shout! ive left it for the time being covered in oil, im hoping some will penetrate through the rust/ crap i was worried about hitting the bolt incase it damaged the threads i dont really care about the stem, i have a replacement GB to go on, in its place

Afternoon all im in the (very slow) process or restoring a Royal Enfield Bullet road bike, according to the bicycle museum it dates to around 1963 the bike is stripped to frame an forks so far, but i need to remove the forks for sandblasting i've undone the headset lockrings aswell as...
