Looks like the person that took the time to build this bike which is for sale on ebay must have done some wedge on this site. Nice bike If I did not own one similar I might of thought about buying it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROYAL-ENFIELD ... 1c39dde9d4

A polished cascette? The whole bike is bloody beautiful.



A 500 classic bullet cafe racer!? I don't think I have ever seen a better adaption!

OK, here's the whole thing. Thanks for spotting this Paul, It has really made my mouth water.

Hi guys----------OH DEAR !! D .. r ..o .. o ... L City !! --or what ??? I've never been a fan of a standard 350/500 Enfield road bike with a "Goldie" system fitted ( just looks like a poor-mans' attempt at being DBD 34 ) BUT it makes perfect logical and visual sense when applied to a machine of this calibre !!..........The write-up says it has a 5-speed box ?? but that looks like a 4-speeder to me ( unless it's from our hosts. perhaps ?? )...... I hope that tank is NOT fibreglass .............. and just to complete the "Ace Cafe" look surely a Mk1 Concentric is needed ??..........She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) will definitely say "DAS IST VERBOTEN, HERR ALAN" !!!.(mind you she looks good in the uniform)......... OH DEAR !!, which is where I came in .........

I see they have a rather pretty Triumph T150 too, which just needs a few quid spending to alter it to uk spec. Could be I'm going to be negotiating for a stablemate for our Lucy...

Hi Alan R,

After a careful examination of the photos, it seems to be a 4 speed albion type. You can see the numbers 2, 3 and 4, but there is no 5 after them!


The tank underside and the front bracket look to be metal, but wouldn't a good old fibreglass tank just melt on you these days? (Or just melt).

What a stunner though!

I thought the asking price was their phone number!!
