The removable side frame rails from the top tube down to the footrest position are the best clue, but also the shape of the front mudguard mounting is almost unique. I think Paul Feltham had one of the smaller engined versions, but his had the stabilisers fitted ( which were rather flimsy).  |

if you ever need to strip the motor ,,, About that, during the trial it kept jumping out of every gear, often mid section! Probably best I didn't start whipping it apart today then! I'm sure I've read somewhere about adding/replacing a ball bearing somewhere in the gear changing system for a more positive change, any ideas? |
