Hello, I’ve just purchased a 1959 Greeves trials bike. Potentially buy in haste repent at leisure. I’d seen a few and missed a couple. I travelled 4 hours to view and by the time I arrived I just waded in.
I have had a lust for a Greeves since my teenage years (I’m now 54). I was inspired by my father a bike rider pretty much till the end and a book he gave me from the 1950’s built for speed it had a Greeves triumph that hooked me, plus I’ve always admired funny front ends. I looked at a Franny B one because in the 1950’s my dad rode a falcon and two because I grew up round the corner from one of their sub sites. However it was the Greeves that won over. I probably paid too much and I have a list of improvements I need to make before I can join my mates in pre65 trials.
