It should be possible to build ANY frame providing I can get proper detailed drawings or an original to copy from. The limiting factors when building from drawings are availability of an engine and forks / yokes. Once the 1st is built and I've got a jig then it's a piece of cake after that.
Couple ...

Don't know where you got the idea of what I'm looking at building ? Don't know myself yet, which was the whole point of me coming on here to see what was happening, what everyone wanted. Just be nice for everyone to sort this out and decide once and for all.
I' d actually PREFER to build the ...

I'm still very interested in this. I'm VERY keen to see the classic scene grow both in Aus and NZ, and I'm still looking at building frames. IS anything happening or as the whole thing died a death ?

As an 'outsider', very much a novice and in NZ !! I'm not going (obviously) going to be part of the discussion BUT am still VERY interested in the outcome as I'm aiming at building frames etc and it would be nice to know what to build !!
I' d just like to see the sport progress and grow.

It was Alasdair that I got put in touch with. He sent me an e-mail and I just have to call him back. Feel free to give me a call 04 526 4205 and pop round sometime. Dave.

Got reply back from Beamish o/c. Non of the original jigs, drawings have survived. Another case of throwing the baby out with the bath water !
He' s put me in touch with a guy in NZ who as a Beamish (and, it turns out lives in the same town) who also knows someone etc.
So, even if I use another ...

thanks Dave. I would have spotted that eventually . told you i was new to this trials lark
Plan at this stage is to get something together at a (relatively) small budget just to get me out there, more do less talk. Once I' ve got this up and running then I' ll look at all the options for building ...

More thoughts on the frame debate Seeing as i'm using a Suzi engine, it seemed logical to use a Suzi frame which obviously means a Beamish.
Any thoughts ?
I've e-mailed owners club for a bit of info so see what happens.

I'll have a look at all those.
Classic trials here is pre - 65, pre-74 and air cooled drum brake which I think covers 74 to 82 so what to build ? As I understand, modifications aren't in the spirit of things but replica stuff is allowed.
I'm using 1980 engine and front end, so do I logically go with ...

looked like a good day. was going but got callout with breakdown at work at 2am and still there at lunchtime
