This machine is as built back
in 1974 when frame parts were brush painted & petrol tanks/tool
boxes were
finished using aerosols. Those
were the days, newly married, living in a rented flat, no
money,
struggling to make ends meet but wouldn't dream of selling the
bike.
Cycle parts
were brush painted in the living room between episodes of Coronation
Street.
Machine remains in this
condition.
Believe it or not this is the remains of a 1962 BSA
Rocket Gold Star as it arrived for renovation.
The machine was returned to full clubmans
trim.
Year 2003 - Vincent Comet in
