[Engineer Frank]

Absolutely spectacular, you should be proud.

[Bill Shields]

I would be afraid fo dropping and scratching something that is obviously one of a kind ...

You're a better man than I am gunga din...in more ways than one.

Absolutely spectacular

I’d love to see this contraption “in the flesh,” if for no other reason than to have a good look at that engine.

Thank you for your very kind comments gents, though I'm sure I'm not Bill I'll finish with a close up of the engine as it is now and one of the finished bike now sporting flat handlebars as the Brooklands style ones were incredibly uncomfortable for anything but chin on the tank riding. The trouble with a project like this is it is never finished: I was so disappointed by the poor quality of classic handlebar controls I made my own levers, clamps, throttle and clutch control, all with zero slop. Then I thought maybe an overhead cam conversion would be great.... Fortunately as I don't have space for the bike it's going in our daughters sitting room; the end of my motorcycling career, far more interested in building my 3/4" scale 0-8-0 switcher, and I won't need a van to move it!
