No worries, the Deek motor looks like a Bantam, but then I guess it would , eh ?

The TriBSA epitomises what Joe Average rode back in the fifties. Here's a few examples of the BSA A10 frame/Triumph 500/650 combo.

Those Tribsa's look nice but I can't help thinking no wonder I cant get hold of a decent rear hub for my CZ when I see them, second 1 down appears to be running twinpipe wheels

That looks like a bolt up sprocket hub rear wheel to me.
CZ wheels aren't legal for pre 60 so it can't be those blokes ::). The CZ wheel was the standard for pre 65 bikes until 1: they started breaking and 2: folks began noticing how ugly they were ;D.

The Bantam is a D4 with a Villiers 197 motor that is set up for trials, 1st gear is good for walking pace and top is good for 30kph ;D
Apparently the were the go in the day....for trials.
I am currently searching for a James with a full crank and 4spd, very similar but a better option.

I know what Brads gone and bought for the pre 60 class but my lips are glued shut. All I can admit is that I knew of the bike myself but forgot all about it......Damn. It's not a Maico but it's a really, really good thing  8) 8) 8).
