These photos are of what we tried to achieve by restoring the two actual bikes in the magazine photo all those years ago.
The last photo is the bikes restored for VMX as race bikes, and running as a matched pair to the original photos of the Alron article.
Cheers  :)

Happy 2015 :D

NEW PROJECT very early Sprite bare frame, would of had the copy 400 Husky motor fitted .

Like to do a pre60 two stroke something ??

Plan was to fit a DKW 1957 250cc but the cases are to long to fit




Any IDEAS on a motor

Cheers
