    [quote=GeeRam;440903]You need to go back another decade or so in design, and add girder forks and rigid frame into the 'fun' mix[/quote

    Along with the Matchless WD G3L, which is slowly going back together., whilst looking for bits for it I always came across cheap BSA M20 bits, I have a late war BSA M20 frame and a set of war time crank cases, also picked up a rear frame for this a few months back ...... (the girder forks are a bit on the expensive side if you can find them and don't fancy the New ones from India).

    The rear frame has the side car lug, which at first I thought was post war (post war had two lugs) the single lug was for an RAF contract during the war, approx only 700 made. I picked it up west side of London, the guy was building up an M21...... as we got talking he noted my interest was WD bikes but he showed me his collection of Brit bikes......... I was gobsmacked, he must have had over £250,000.00 worth of bikes in his other shed.......all shiny and new.

    After that it was another train Journey to the East side of London, to pick up a hard tail G3L frame....... the G3L frame was to build up a repro WD bike as I have a lot of bits which have accumulated after buying boxes of bits but only require one part etc, although I do fancy a G3L trials bike so not sure on that yet..........
