  • Whats this

    Found this Greeves on a web site http://www.instawebgram.com/tag/vintagetrial. The text to pic says its a 1959 Greeves Scottish ISDT custom.
    reg number 163 XUB appears to be correct although I think bike is abroad (poss USA). DVLA have it untaxed since March 2009 & list it as 1957. Pic taken 20/11/14.
    Carweb show frame number as 75131S ? Possibly 7513/S which would make it a 20S Unusual front dampers with springs, anyone recognise it?

    John, is that correct for the front wheel to be fitted the other way round or not?

      Looks like it has a pair of shocks from a set of Armstrong leading link forks mounted upside down in the forks

        Wasn't that an old trials trick to get a front brake with a more progressive feel?
