While i'm at it, does anyone recall a liteweight [think esso engine] mx bike back then that i think was of alloy tube glued together aircraft style i think it said, maybe tubes glued into cast ally lugs but don't think it ended up going into production [probably broke at the first jump!!], but was at a motor show.

thanks for finding that. Got me going now as i think it looked slightly different but in saying that--it was a pre production show bike & 'was' a hell of a long time ago. This one [or these two?--front brake on opposite side in last pic] look like they have [think] cz forks & wheel, plus maybe rear wheel, wonder if that's a modification as cz's would be after this bike was manufactured [me thinks]. Off to find my old magazines--now where are they.!! Cheers Morley. ps, or are they Ceriani's.

Love the oil in frame fillers

I read somewhere that the X Frame was actually glued together. Those Pesky Swedes sure liked to do some out there stuff in the sixties. O'll post a couple of weird Swedish bikes including a couple of AJ's later in the weekend. I'm too pissed now after the rugby.

is that what they are on either side in front of the seat?, oil fillers, expanded pics up to have a better look. don't recall gearing anything about it after it was shown at a bike show [earls court or somewhere], maybe the 2 strokes [cz etc] had the 4 stroke thinking the writing's on the wall, in saying that--these two bikes in the pics look well used.

Yes, the lug and tube construction was so they could use adhesive at the joints. 

This article is about a modern RR frame using honeycomb board with everything glued together.  Being able to avoid dealing with the distortion from welding would be nice:
