I was recently asked for such a bike by a german member from the Frankfurt/Main area too. These bikes seem to be very sought after by the enthusiasts. To me no such bike has come up so far!

In the early 90’s I bought a 1954 Triump Tiger Cub project from Ron Farthing when I attended the Festival of 1000 Bikes at Branch Hatch. Those where the days…

It seems to be a VA31 actually due to the SA gearbox. Very nice bike though. And has the rear brake pedal on the right side!

It does look nice that one. What on earth were they doing putting the brake lever on that side?
