Hi all from the New Forest, UK. I've owned my a10 for 30 years but only got going with a recommission in the last 18 months. It's a 1959/60 g/flash model, and arrived part disassembled after a hard life! It had been fitted with a sidecar, the downtubes were pinched, bent and oval. All the bolts were odd, the tin wear rough and the wheel rims and spokes, as rusty as. I've sourced a g/star swing arm, a QD rear hub, a g/star touring rear brake pedal (have created the mount to suit) and a pair NOS fork sliders to suit a A65 front hub and brake (single leading). The frame , engine plates, s/arm are assembled and are very shiny ! Lots to do yet...tin wear, forks, engine, and decision on wheels is looming ! Was hoping to keep it subtle but it's difficult ! Wanted to keep some patina, but it was all horrid ! Will try and post some pics at some point. Cheers
