ordered a new Brooks saddle through a friend who owns a cycle shop, today i bolted up a 1930's Triumph rear frame and loosely trial fitted the seat
found this image of a JAP powered Chater Lea
after a few phone calls and a bit of trading, I managed to aquire this main frame section, from a 1920's Chater Lea
This project started when I was offered most of a 1929 twin port OHV 350cc JAP single, originally built for a sports road bike it would be the perfect power plant to put in a lightweight vintage special.
Born and brought up on the north side of Glasgow, gradually migrated north to the Highlands over the last 25 years. Been buying, selling, building, breaking, fixing, riding and pushing old bikes and cars about for as long as I can remember.
I always wanted an Indian, ever since I saw one as a teenager at a classic bike show near Glasgow. In 2005 I started to gather parts to build a 57" Stroker Sport Scout, the Scout finally was on the road in Spring of 2011. Next.... a 1200cc Chout, a 1940 74" Chief motor shoe horned into a modified 101 Scout frame .. watch this space!
