Hold on to your hats....

BSA Tour de France*

*(may not actually have comepeted in Tour de France or indeed any other race typoe activity)

as found:

post tinker:

Bike technology may have moved on since the BSA was new, but I like to think it is still the orangest bike in the world. Weighing in at about half a ton, it must have been utterly terrifying to try and pilot on a steep downhill. It comes with the pimpingest saddle I've ever owned, a San Marco Rolls with gold highlights. Unbelievably, it is only the second heaviest bike that I've scored on ebay. The heaviest is below...

Dawes Battlecruiser.

Made from left over bits of armour plate, this Dawes leaves a dent in the road wherever it goes and looks oddly like it has been wrapped in brown parcel tape and then left in a canal to mature for a couple of decades. It is chock full of lovely details, like the enamel head badge, Huret gear shifter and GB Coureur alloy brakes. Alright, enough talk - here it is:

I'm going to have a go at cleaning it this evening and see what comes out...

Best one last. Henry Burton of Stafford built racing bike - looking lovely straight out of the box:

I am very much looking forward to getting this one out on the road.

One of my Carltons, this is my Flyer. Frame/forks from 1964.

Built up from a few years of searching for NOS and good pre-owned parts.

Enjoy.
