while you are waiting for the pix i managed to upload a video of the bike to youtube.  the link is here: 1953 BSA A10: http://youtu.be/AK0_x4Mr1J4

You will have to forgive the sound quality and rain drops! :)

Bike rode like a dream today.... makes me regret even more having to sell it :(
Brakes are really good and there are no oil leaks!
Please keep in mind the bike is fresh from a complete rebuild and will need a few kms to settle in....  It will need a little fettling and the head re-torqued etc....

Once i re-size the photos i will post them :)

Nice bike , try to make sure it goes to a good home . Oh and from the picture of the oil tank  we can all see that you don't store your wood in there as one of our  American friends does, *whistle* *whistle*regards BobH

Whoops! it should be ok now :)
.... Just publicly answering a question i was PM'd...The new owner is more then welcome to the old parts as well... cam, valve guides, low compression pistons, followers.... etc.
I also have a Auto Advance setup for this bike if the new owner wants it?!

Update: Just come back from another ride and the bike handles great! Gearbox and clutch are silky smooth.  I will re-torque the head and re-check the timing once the bike has cooled down :)
Don't be surprised if it disappears from the market as i might try and keep this one if possible.
