does it have a metal headbadge or a sticker ?? if its metal, wipe some paint thinner on it lighty, same thing if its got a sticker but you might be doin more harm than good in the end.

pics would help a bunch tryin to i.d. em.

thats the problem
it was just some random plant my dad was delivering in
he was just wanderin if it was anything special
but chances are i'll never see the bike again

If the BSA bikes are diamond frame, get them. If they are a lightweight cruiser type no big loss.

Any pics of the BSA bike. I like old British bikes.

 

[moparmayhem93]

um i am planning on going to look at the bikes somtime this weekend hopefully
the only thing i no is the guy was like "o yea i got a couple of old bsa's n the garage wanna take a look"
if all goes as planned i might be able to get pictures but that could change

thanks for the help fellas!

I restored a 1951 BSA(British Small Arms) and sold it for a song. If I had to do it again, I would have done the same thing I did with Victoria and put 26 inch rims on it. It would have made an awesome City Cruiser with the fully covered chain guard and 3 speed.

Alas the guy who had the bike had it wrong
it was a BCA and not a BSA

thanks for the help
any info on bsa?
the headbadge says it was built in alantown Pennsylvania
if that helps out all

THANKS!
