Wanted A10 Super Rocket
« on: 21.02. 2012 13:01 »
I am after an A10 Super Rocket, in the UK.

I am looking for a complete bike and runner, I am am not looking for a basket case, incomplete or one that requires full restoration.

If you have one that you are considering selling then please PM me with your details.

G'day Sprint,
Are you in the UK, if so, I've seen some pretty neat looking s/r's for sale
in the back of the Classic Bike Guide, prices seem to be a bit cheaper than
here in Australia. Keep looking, one will turn up, I wouldn't get too focused
on a particular year, just look for a nice old original bike, they're all pretty
much the same mechanically,  accept for the cam, which you can change anyway.

regards, Cus

Hi Cus

Thanks for the reply and reminding me that, yes, I am looking in the UK. Updated my original post to reflect that.

I used to get the CBG, but their recent editorial changes was not too my liking so stopped getting it. But you are right it is still a good place for ads.

You mention that there were 'cam' differences, can you expand on that a bit? Was the cam profile changed over the life of the bike, which was only five years?

What is the best cam to use and was that fitted after a particular year?
