Sitting around in self imposed isolation has in my case (and probably many others as well) allowed long held aspirations to be fulfilled....
I’ve a collection of old (mainly 50’s) british bikes including two Ariel Colts and have always planned to build a copy of the Trials Colt created by Ariel competition department for Geoff Duke in 1957. Thought has finally turned into action and the build is now well on the way with conversion of the plunger rear suspension to swinging arm almost behind us. That’s probably the biggest single challenge to completion of the project almost done. Attached pics seem to have got out of order but include one of Geoff Duke on the trials Colt plus before and after pics of the Colt frame including alloy rim wheels built for the project.
