Old Basket Case

Going through some old photos and came across this Old Bullet I looked at to make a Pre65 Trials bike, many years ago.
I guess I should have bought it....Would have been cheap back then.
Don't know year or model?

That was (hopefully still is) a G2 350 bullet from 1954 or 55, that type of frame with the cast lug for the swinging arm spindle was only in production for those two years. Hitchcocks has a 500 version for sale if you still fancy something similar, you'd have to check shipping costs from the UK, of course.

Thanks Adrian.
Probably under a couple of hundred quid back then.

You turned down a big head Bullet for an army B40? To be fair, a well sorted B40 isn't a bad bike at all.
