DGY asked me to post this. Evil.
Here's a 56' Goldie I built from swap meets, friends, ebay, you name it. I got the frame from a B33 (Goldstars are B34's) that my buddy and I bought for the engine, as we had a rigid frame and wanted to make a pre-50 race bike. The engine came from Gil Greenlaw, for which I swapped him a trials bike. The transmission was from Hugh Weaver, but had a wide ratio gear set in it so I had to find a standard set. The tank is off an A65 BSA and the seat is a repop of a seat they made back in the day for Goldie's. The front wheel is the much sought after 190mm and equipped with Vintage Brake shoes. The engine has the big head which sports a 38mm Mikuni, the cams are full race, the ignition is an electronic unit hiding in the mag' body. The exhaust is a 1 7/8 special made pipe (normal is 1 3/4) dumping into an open mega with a can on the back. S/S spokes laced to alloy shouldered rims with Avon race tires on them. This bike was fast, and what a sound it made. The over-run was wicked. I took it out one day, my buddy was on my KTM 650 Super Moto, and the BSA was just as fast.
Just thought that maybe you guys would enjoy the bike, it's the last Brit cafe bike I built and was my favorite out of all of them.
