Hi Ray
I am fairly new here too but not to bikes, welcome to the fray! you will find some Great guys and great information here! its amazing what you learn even though youve been hanging around bikes for years, and you'll always find someone here thats been there and done that!
Your story sounds familiar!!!
Personally im so busy my poor bikes suffer but hopefully it will change soon and i can actually get my workshop finished and start on my bikes again.
I think you have hit the nail on the head Ray and i have always said im amazed that any frame an engine numbers match after all these year and remembeing the antics we used to get up to as kids.
While matching or shall we say "correct" engine and frame numbers are desirable as far as value goes to most people it means nothing, Originality? Well its nice to know where it came from and what it was.... anyhow what is original?? is a Triton that was built in 1965 original? or one that was built in 1985?
Rocket Gold Star ... Original? the first ones were built by the ton up boys, Eddie Dow then the factory finally cottened on! and they came off the assembly line!
Anyhow enough waffle
The frame if you can really confirm that number sounds like an RGS frame, if its "GA" GA10's were RGS... GA10 XXX check here..
http://www.bsaownersclub.co.uk/Engine_Frame_Listing.html#1960The GA 7's were the Super Rockets, Flashes and Spitfires from 60 0n.
Are you sure its not a GA7 1063? a 1960-61
Check my posting
http://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=1164.0There you will see most of the frame differences between an RGS and say a Gold Flash of around the same age 61 - 62
Maybe it is a dealer recycled frame, but today people tend to do it the other way and try and con people its an RGS frame which is very desirable to RGS builders.
Engine wise it looks like a '62 Rocket engine
They stopped the RR in 57-58
So far so good eh! i think you have the basis for a nice bike (bit like me, and my RR basket case im gathering parts for).
I think the Key is enjoy what your doing... dont count the bills if you can spread out the cost (its frightening if you add up the bills as i did after the Bonnie rebuild)
Im sure you'll get lots of help and encouragement here!
Oh and Lets have some Pictures!!!
Regards
Steve
