A Very British Klunker

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

One possibility regarding the frame's origin, and the reason why the headbadge holes don't look very "factory" and why I can't find any transfers under the paint: maybe it was supplied as a replacement?

Good point

After a gentle reminder from Guy Redshaw that I was slacking ( and he has just built a modern Stooge Klunker) I thought I would put a bit more time into the BSA. The front brake cable tensioner has been a bit of a challenge but after cannibalising a few bits I have managed to find a solution.

The rough alloy seatpost has been polished and fitted. Just need to sort the rear brake and then onto the gearing, a few problems to overcome there but that's the point of the journey.

I was wondering how you were doing on this reject. Extremely nice, so much nicer than any klunkers in my collection. Congr
