Need a slightly more compact primary set up for the Ricky, I am thinking Enfield inner and outer primary with Norton clutch and Triumph out put sprocket. Anyone done this.

I was looking about for a Metal Melisha sticker but couldn't find one. If you were a real man you would ride this bike all day in shorts./

No still in land of rice and raw fish, timing was bad for my day job. Just bought a couple of road bikes so have to break them down and stow them.

Had to start my own Rickman thread Alison, the Ricky is still in bits like most of my bikes, but it is one of those bikes that looks just as good in pieces. ;D

True- dressed or undressed they do look the goods 8) The metal (chrome moly steel?) just does it all the time for me and you spot the old British a mile off.
Hope the Rickman bike snobs don't read Firko's comment ,and to think he'll be maybe hanging out with Hunky Spunky Rick Sieman soon. ;) ::) :D

Got me there. :) I quoted Firko, you'll have to ask him about his Yellow Peril(good stuff) ;D I do believe its pre 65 ,so that's always a double bonus (hope I'm right :-X) :P

You haven't been paying attention Alison ::). I've got a thread going somewhere describing the bike. It's too late in the evening to go looking for it now. :-*
Basically the bike consists of a Rickman Zundapp frame, Maico 250 square barrel engine and custom made Mk3 Metisse bodywork. Unfortunately I have to go with the newest major component to settle which division it goes in so the 1971 Rickman Micro Metisse frame puts the bike firmly in pre '75. I don't particularly care though as the bike is destined to be of more a Classic Dirt fun bike and engineering exercise than a serious racer.
