Swansea say its "Unlicenced" not sorn'ed which suggests it hasn't been taxed since before the sorn regs came in, but as its still on there records it aint been declared scrapped either so its probably lurking in a shed somewhere awaiting inspiration

I know DS found a few new ones about 4-5 years ago but they probably all gone, i know i have a box of "assorted" ones but loath to get rid of any due to shed full of projects, given time and pressure from the bank i might part with a set of large gauges as on 550

450 is identical but no trip knob all the others are the bigger clocks, for 550 clocks which will fit look on ebay.com instead of .co.uk BUT USPS recently dropped surface postage so everything goes airmail and costs more

OK they aint as good as todays bikes but for their time were better than adequate.

rear drums tend to rust and go oval and front pivots sieze allong with pistons, some say the goodriche brake hoses make a difference but basicaly a well maintained system should have the front forks nearly bottoming but wont squeel the tyre

Hints on building:-

There are 20 each of two types of spoke---
one goes from the ouside inwards and the other from the inside outwards,

Sort out the first type and where they go in the hub and just fit those and lace to rim, get these tight and the rim running true.

This way you are only adjusting 20 spokes not 40; the other 20 you can slide in a fit easily (Don't work if you do it the other way round!)

When truing find where the rim is "Welded" and mark it as there is always a "Kick" at that point and trying to true it out has sent many a novice do-lally

Personally dont like stainless as its too stiff and not maleable
