BSA Goldstar project

This relic of the now defunct British Empire has been left over here in the colonies by some careless Englishman.

That bike has the makings of a great pre 65 MXer like our Brit mate Bens little gem.

Very nice thanks Firko..I love to see those seriously big era bikes.

The ebay BSA above sold for 11,941 Aus or 5,900 US.

Alison..The grey 'dusty' looking stain is flux residue from the bronze welding. It's easily cleaned off with a rag soaked in a bit of turps. It looks like the photo was taken straight after welding. Nice job.

Well he doesn't seem to want to keep that one. DB34 is pretty prime rib thats for sure but make mine in a Norton frame for Xmas.
