A10 !!
« on: 25.10. 2009 18:49 »
Hi
I have got hold of half a swinging arm A10 project. I think mid 1950s that I want to put on the road for riding, not Sunday riding, but regular use. Looking for a rear wheel, prefer 18 inch with sprocket in usable condition, not bothered about wonderful chrome.  Or I have a hub if anyone can rebuild for a reasonable price? Also looking at the front end and trying to get a set up that  works in modern traffic, for riding 2 up. Maybe an 18 inch later front wheel with twin leader shoes?
I live in Yorkshire, anything considered to make this bike feel a bit more like a buildable project.

Also looking for the following at some point in the future:

A dual seat or maybe a seat base

mudguards, not sure if deep or sporty types.

Downpipes and silencers

A concentric carb would also be useful, if anyone knows the spec?

this is just for starters!! Maybe if someone has another part bike around, maybe interested in purchasing.

thanks  email : rabbit909 at  googlemail.com

Hi Dave
I just wondered why you wanted to build on 18" rims? as I believe that A10's were all on 19", I may well be wrong on that,
anyway I wish you well and I am sorry I can not help out with the spares you need.
