  • Interesting trials bike based on a Bantam 175
  • Extensively modified throughout its life
  • Alloy rims and one piece tank and seat unit

Around the turn of the century BSA started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. BSA’s best selling model was the Bantam first seen in 1948 as a 125cc and in fact became the best-selling British-made bike of all time. The ubiquitous little 2 stroke has been the basis for many specials over the years and seen use in all branches of motorcycle sport, especially in trials events.

This interesting little trials bike is based on a 1966 Bantam 175 that has been extensively modified throughout its life. The frame has been altered to get the correct geometry for trials use and it is fitted with a bespoke one piece tank and seat unit. The forks look to be later hydraulically damped items and the wheel rims are alloy with conical hubs front and rear.
