So, I accidentally bought another bike. This one is 33 years old and hasn't been used for at least the last 10.......

neither of these bikes have brake calipers ... the rider(s) must have big balls

Great. I'd love that for a cafe racer..
The old one does have calipers, just about a foot away from the discs.

WOOHOO I used to have one of those! 1983 black one and absolutely loved it

Yep, they're there - I think that's called 'inboard' calipers...conkerman wrote:Great. I'd love that for a cafe racer..

Considering a cafe racer - undecided at the moment. There are some really nice looking boxer cafe racers (BCR's?) out there.

Both have been stood, so calipers were removed for ease of transportation (pushing of course). My balls really aren't that big - they just look it after the hernia.......GRAgusta wrote:neither of these bikes have brake calipers ... the rider(s) must have big balls

Yep, they both are, so I now need to decide which to tackle first. Probably the S as I think that needs (slightly) less work, and I've bought a load of bits for it already - so shouldn't take as much work to get it on the road. Would be nice to get some use of it this summer, but that may be a little optimistic....nab 301 wrote:Which one's the project
