Here's an update on Frank Stanboroughs recreation of Brian Stonebridges NSU/Greeves. The bike's coming along well and will hopefully be finished by the Nats or most probably, CD7.
Below: The engine's in the frame, and all of the plumbings done. The forks are now rebuilt with new shocks and bushes.
                     
The engine is a work of art with a conversion to chain drive, twin cam instead of the original single item and all sorts of handmade internals which Frank is keeping to himself right now.                    
                     
Franks even building his own tank. He's that kind of guy

The two bikes pictured are bikes built by Brian Stonebridge.I will check if I have any other photos.
There was at least one Greeves NSU raced in Australia.
Older NSW riders will recognise the venue.


According to Old Bike Australasia this pic was found in a tin at a rubbish dump.
Looking for LOST LOUIE the Hungarian immigrate aboard the NSU-Greeves.
Those handle bars are extraordinarily wide  :P

re;Frank Stanboroughs recreation- looks like he's may have been catching up with Don Newell too  ;D nice front guard   ;)  :)
Best is in the West !!

The hubs are by Rickman and will be laced to Akront mudcatcher rims.
                    
This bike, like his previous Manx Metisse and Matchless trials bike is a testament to Franks great talent.

Firko,

What is written on the bottom line of engraving on the side cover, left side?
