Title: Metisse Villiers
Post by: firko on November 25, 2013, 01:24:49 pm

Pity about the colour. I've never heard of Competition Classics Metisse replica frames before or am I missing something obvious. Flowerpot Ben???

The Dot sold for 1600 pound, which I thought that was cheap.

That Pipe just looks wrong on a pre 65 bike

pretty sure it is a modified Rickman Zundapp frame, modified to accept the Villiers motor with a body kit on it to make it look old (not one of mine)

I cant see past the colour.  Sadly not my cup of tea.

I've found that Competition Classics used to make a replica Petite Metisse frame as well as replica REH hubs and fork staunchions.....plus specialising in Villiers Starmaker tuning. Bill Tomlinson?? or something similar was the guys name. I can't find anything online however.
