They will have to be pressed out...a bit like car suspension bushes, I guess.

You'll probably know what your doing far better than me, but just a cautionary word - I think you'll need to protect and perfectly align the springs inside the down tubes. My Greeves has pretty much the same set up. Soon as the weather warms up, I'll be needing to strip and un-seize the springs.......

I think with these bikes when they say 'designed in Italy' they actually mean 'styled in Italy'

They are, as they say, cheap for a reason.

Thanks Hugh,

Would have posted myself, but I've been off the forum for a while because I've had computer issues.

I'd be there myself if I wasn't so far away.

All the best

I had a 1971 BSA B25 ...the bike that inspired the new BSA.

I set my wellington boot alight on the exhaust...it's all part of the authentic experience.

I had a 1971 BSA B25 Gold Star...which that new BSA is cosmetically inspired by.

I set my wellington boot on fire on the exhaust...so it's all part of the authentic experience.

But they didn't paint the frame in Al Cave battleship grey so it would look like nickel-pating in black & white photos.
