Hi from Bess

[Bess]

Hi all,
          New to the forum but not to BSA'S.

I started with a C15 moving on to an A10 swinging arm then built a plunger and rigid from scratch. Sold the lot a number of years ago and recently got my interest back and built a A50, then 2 A65's. I sold the A50 to finance a A10 build which is happening over the coming year. Hopefully I will glean some information and help others during my stay.

Best wishes...

Wow, wow, wow! Very nice. Thanks for the pictures. Don't be shy sharing your own hard-earned knowledge.

This is why we ask for, and enjoy seeing, the introduction posts :O)

 Hiya Bess-o welcome along;
   

I started with a C15 moving on to an A10 swinging arm .....

... so where's those pics ? So going by the TLS wheels are the  A65's true '68/9?/70 ?

 What version is the new A10...?  And How'd you do that font ? (although if I looked it's no doubt obvious?)

[Bess]

Hi Dutch,
     
The pics are my home in Devon, UK.
Both A65's are built from bits collected originally for spares for my A50. I was going to sell the A50 and my son wanted to buy it, I suggested he learnt how to build one so we built the A65's together, he built the black one. The engine and frames (1966) came back from the USA via Ebay and registered in the UK this year. The TLS is my preference so I sourced the forks to be able to use them on the A50 and A65's
The A10 will be in the Spitfire Scrambler livery.
The font, drop the Font Face box in the tools section above the text field and make your choice.

G'day Bess.
Thanks for the intro mate. I like the A65 rat, mine was just neglcted.
Best of luck with your new A10 build.
Cheers.
Ps: Look out now duTch can match his vocabulary with font!

Love that "rat" A65
Seriously thinking of building something similar myself

 Some things are best kept out of reach of children...especially vocalerberries. ....

  ...So I was wondering if you noticed any difference between the '68 TLS and the later ones, I'm running a Comical one, and it's just fine for me

  **stand back as I press 'Post'.....

 Hmmm.....

[Bess]

Hi Dutch,
              I find no noticeable difference in efficiency between them. The later TLS cable route is easier to fit and better on the eye in my opinion.

Welcome Bess, your help on the other forum was great, thank you. This forum is much busier, many more postings per day; enjoy. Regards Colin. There is another Greybeard on here, he is a font.
