Dear Sally Thanks very much for what must be the clearest explanation of the BSA’s serial number system I have ever seen. I just thought it was a true BSA. well done

Also I do not know why my nickname is dirt disciple and would like to change it, any thoughts Pete

HI, I have started a new thread about my new BSA ToB I am restoring, from the serial number it looks like a 1962, 5 yeas after Raleigh took over production but it has all the spec of my 1954 ToB, even down to the plain metal head badge, frame geometry and 72 head tube angle? The new thread is...

Keith Agree the pump peg looks poor, and an 18.5 “ pump is really hard to find. I was thinking of removing them before the respray but it would lose its original look. pete

The chrome has come up really well with a little bit of work, Pete

Thanks Keith, That’s my point, I have a BSA ToB that my dad purchased in 1954 from Enfield and this one is exactly the same, lugs, tubing, kingfisher oiler, head badge, frame casting number and it should not be!

Having removed the blue hand painted paint you can see the BSA tour of Britain sports logo on the down tube and the white band with BSA on the seat tube but that is all that's left. I am going to give the chrome a good clean, repaint the frame in Black and white and have got a new set of decals...

L’Eroica BSA Tour of Britain vintage road frame and parts – my new restoration project. I have now started my second BSA Tour of Britain which I have just purched. It’s a BSA Tour of Britain form the late 1950’s and I belive is worthy of a full renovation. I’ve taken the chainset off...

Now happily restoring another BSA ToB!

Re: mud guard screws Can anyone please tell me the screw thread on the frame and front forks for fixing the mudguards. It must be imperial I guess but what one? Thanks in advance

[/img]Hi All I have finally finished my restoration of my 1954 BSA ToB and really happy how it has turned out. All i have not been able to get are the cable clips of the rear gear cable ( cable clips at present) and have not put on the white Bluemels mudguards. but i did get a pair NOS which are...
