Double Trouble

[Lotus54]

Most certainly do a build thread!
  Always loads of fun seeing progress on these projects.

Always interesting to watch the quality of your work John.

Thanks guys. I'd much rather watch your builds than mine, so how about it??

I have two things up next I think.
 1. Put 4-shoe drum brake (with appropriate forks/tripple) on 250 Sport Special.
2. Start restoring 60s Benelli mini. I’ve pulled the engine- and pulled apart a spare to see how it comes apart (and inspect parts I may use). I went through the ‘owernership in doubt’ with that one and have a real title now.

I’ll try to start a thread with pics for both. I have not even looked hard at the 4-shoe yet, I have new spokes for it.

Someone reminded me that I didn't post a photo of the Double when I finished it, so here it is.

I see 2 more up on the mezzanine wanting restored

That Triumph certainly looks good. I think you said maybe next spring to start it?

[John H]

That's still tentative, depending on whether it goes to the LeMay or not. The new curator is working on a new area for bikes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
