Have to be a home blown job. Not even BSA would be that silly.

Sorry I could not see the bike, as it would violate my vow to be the last man standing with no face Book account.

Hi All,
There seems to be a copy of a newspaper/ magazine article framed standing behind the bike!
Cantilever rear suspension????

Oh yes, I hadn't seen that. Here is a zoomed clip:

A scrambler's memorial: John's special unveiled.

So, it would appear to be a homebrew.
