Retro Newbie
Hi Cockroach, I have recently got hold of a revelation, or it would be more truthful to say, frame and forks. just wondering if you still have the parts you stripped from your original, I would like to try and rebuild mine as original as possible. I would be grateful if you could let me know if you still have them and how much you would be willing to take for them. Thanks in anticipation, Chris.
I personally would have kept the Dynohub...
Nice to see a Revelation on here: )
I got a couple & if there is any real interest I'll upload some more pics. Plus I have done a bit of research on these machines.
These are rare bikes, only made for 18 months or so before Royal Enfield went bust.
Don't compare them with your Raleigh 20 machines, etc. Revs were designed as load carriers & they are tough, with a longer wheelbase!
Excellent for customising if they need a repaint; )
They will take 22" wheels also:
Here with a coaster rear. Changes the machine totally for me.
Here's a good pic of the varieties available in 1966ish: )
I recommend Revelations; )
Be different, go retro & have fun.

Anybody notice the chain-wheel on the blue one above?
Royal Enfield alloy from early 50s! Very early for an alloy chain-set.
Taken/borrowed from my early 50s Royal Enfield Superlight.
As on the Royal Enfield Bullet from 1949 & rare as, whatever.....
Royal Enfields have a long, illustrious history: )
