Wow! It's really coming along. Been fascinating watching your build. Someday after catching up with motorcycle projects, I'd like to start in on an elderly Ford Model T I've had for years. Can't wait to see your Cadet moving down the road.
Many Thanks Larry, I can't wait either! My previous project was a Triumph Cub which had been waiting 30 years for the rebuild! What bikes are you rebuilding?
Well,at the moment I'm going to try a dual Triumph 650 rebuild. A 1957 (pre-unit),and a 1966 Unit construction. I'll be covering them at my new blog, "Travel's with Pete". In the wings I have several BSA's, a few more Triumph 650's,and so many more. It's been awhile since I've done any restoration, and I need to get set-up again. Looking forward to getting back into it. My Model T has been waiting close to 30 years...
Hello,Just found your rebuild and it's already looking like it could be a godsend to me. I recently bought a Hamblin Cadet in a similar state to yours (actually I think it's worse ) but with a broken back like yours and I'm about to grit my teeth and start.... Any advice would be welcome......

ReplyDeleteWell that sounds a nice collection. You should have enough material for the next couple of years at least! Will be following your blog.........
