You do realize that after seeing those, I'll have to sit here for a while and wait for the swelling to go down.
I see a 71 Triumph twin leading shoe brake and conical hub on the black one. Bit hard to see, but the rear hub also looks like a conical hub?
Reminds me of the John Player Special Lotus. One of my favorite color combinations too.The black on really does it for me. I love a black and gold bike, but I am a little biased as I currently have 3 bikes with similar color schemes. The gold touches really pairs well with the subtle undertones on the frame plating.
Wonderful @lewisjohnExhaust guard finished, got until the end of the month to finish the bike, both bikes entered into a Classic bike show in Brecon ,mid wales on the 1st April.View attachment 238332View attachment 238333
Two of the prettiest XS650's in the world!I took both Metisse’s to a local bike festival last weekend, they were both really well recieved, the black bike won an award , Best in Show (British), the grey bike according to one of the judges would have won overall best in show ,but they didn’t have a best in show class.
