As a current 'custodian' of an old bike I think they should get used as intended rather than wrapped up and hidden away but each to their own- esspecially after a lot of time and heartache.

Now that I do like, what is it exactly. I don't think I will be riding my cub very much, but I would definitely be riding yours if I owned it.

Well done - fantastic looking re-build

You've done great job on that, well done.
I was given a basket case t20 when I was about 14, I got 90% of the way through the restoration, lost interest and sold it to a mate. I say sold it, I did'nt really because my Dad said "You're not going to take a tenner off that lad are you"? I said "Er, no" and gave it to him for nothing......What a plonker.

If he,s still got it, offer to give him double his money back for it.

I don't think you would have any problem getting a job at the National Motor Cycle Museum.
You have what it takes - fastidious attention to detail

Looks good mate - will keep my eye out for it next time im down the 52

That's beautiful, a show winner without a doubt. Well done.

I've never had a Cub but I had this, bought in '91 and sold in Jan '02. There's a small photo of it on the cover of Classic Bike Jan '02 if you have a copy.

Knackered when I bought it but quite nice when finished. It's a '66 T120 Bonnie although you'll spot the '68 front wheel and the Concentric's.

Pictured with the bike that replaced it.

The bonnie looks good, I have never owned one myself, don't suppose I will now the values have gone through the roof, but I have always admired them. Nearest I got was a BSA that I put a tiger 100 motor into, I have never bothered about keeping things standard, more concerned with the standard of build. Thanks for your comments by the way.
