Yes, if there was ever a long project this is it...Like many I guess I had too many projects and kept taking on more...As I couldn't use this one on the road it kept slipping onto the 'back burner' as I rebuilt other bikes..However, I have completed a lot of the work on it so it's not all bad...
It will be at the top of the pile when I finish my current project, a 'special' that will be the last road bike I build...Ian

Good luck with that 'last road bike' Ian. :laughing:
At 84 I am on about my fifth 'last bike' at the moment, a 1961 T21.
Already thinking about the next 'last one'

Ha Ha Baz! Good on you mate. I said "LAST ONE" about 3 bikes ago. But I'm still a way off 84. I'm just finishing off my nod to the "Bar None motorcycle club"..... Never say never!! Ron

Re: M20 sprinter...

Very nice Ian, did you make the flywheel assembly yourself or have it made by someone else? Cheers JT

Re: M20 sprinter...

The crank was made by Phil Pearson to my specifications...The conrod is a 'one off' from Carillo...The piston a 'one off' from CP Pistons...Valves are specials from Manley Valves in America..Cams are Gold Star Scrambles (Ex) and a 'one off' inlet to my specs....Ian
