Ron, thanks for the offer. What I meant is that I'd have bought it if there was no interest, Cambridge isn't far from me, in fact I'll be working there next week. I like to have a 'wild card' project in the wings, the current one being a 1956 Indian Trailblazer (RE Super Meteor really!) I will be watching your rebuild Steve, good luck!
REgards, Mark
Hitchcock's had a couple of Trailblazer projects recently and I was toying with the idea. I'm in the "Indian Riders Club" but not so keen on foot clutch riding. But I do have enough on my plate and my easy to ride Indian special anyway! Ron
Yes, the specification on these "Indians" was quite advanced for the time, Monobloc carb, SR2 magneto, sensible prop stand, long swinging arm (the UK bikes only got this for the Interceptors in 1963!) 18" rear wheel, all with an engine that was basically a single carb Constellation. I also have a Chief project so quite a bit to be going on with! And if you really want to go down the authentic period looking route there are a host of US made Indian badged accessories to collect.
REgards, Mark
