Re: Rigid Frame Query...
The owner has a ridged rear end. Should be easy enough to check if it will fit the s/arm front half. Or just check parts list.G15 Roy wrote:A26424 left the factory as a 1955 G80S so not rigid,

Straight swap, was a popular trials mod when the sprung frame comps were introduced. To upgrade many rigid rear ends were removed and sprung rears bolted straight on. The only thing missing was the welded rear mudguard bridge that the comps had, however a bolt on one was soon made available.

Re: Rigid Frame Query...
In 55 one comp model was ridged, another model sprung. Not checked when rigid option was finally dropped.ajscomboman wrote:Rob Harknett wrote:The owner has a ridged rear end.

Re: Rigid Frame Query...
Not sure when they finally officially dropped rigid models Rob as they could be built to order direct from the factory.
