Re: james comet 2 speed, 98cc,, rigid frame with girder forks

The model noted above doesn't have girder forks, it has the very lightweight teles...It may well be that the girder fork models were not used post war or perhaps some wartime ones were employed later on....What is certain is that they had more than TRWs and B40s in the post war period.....Ian

I found that article and downloaded the pictures. I don't know if you could ever find out which ones served with the AM (Air Ministry)? But you could paint a lookalike. Ron

Ok, I have 3 kinds of James motorcycles in my files, 4 contracts of 98cc. 1 contract with James Cadet 147cc. and 1 other contract with James Cadet 147cc. No frame numbers, no destination, just dates and prices.

Cheers,

Lex

I've never heard of it! Post war they were using BSA B40's and Triumph TRW's. Ron
You and Ian must be getting old Ron, Shane used to bring his to the Buckfastleigh show nearly every year.

It's the short term memory that goes first Rob..:laughing: ...I thought of Shanes bike when I saw the initial post but I wasn't sure whether it was original so thought better of using it as an example....Now what was it I was going to do today?.....:slightly_frowning_face: ....Ian

Re: james comet 2 speed, 98cc,, rigid frame with girder forks

Exactly the same for me Rob. I'm sure Shane said his was a just a mock up? Ron

That's possible, I don't seem to have taken any pictures of it.
