G-Man Since my bike spent all it's life on the track it's logical that the brake would have been replaced as a matter of priority. It would be great to see them all together one day. Alan Would you be interested in selling the seat brackets, that would save me a lot of work Today I've been trying to...

G-Man Idont know the original colour, but I think it was black when I bought it in 1965, but it seems to have been all three colours at various times The log books for bikes never seemed to show the colour.
