A few years ago I decided I wanted a 4L0 hybrid, that was in the days before the prices got silly. So I spent the best part of two years picking up a bit here and a bit there, then I set about butchering ZXR400 and a knackered 31K. Several years after my initial build I am still constantly changing and modifying but isnt that half the fun of having something different?
This is one of the many job lots that came home in the van And this is the result to date although there have been some changes since these pics were taken a few months back...lol

These pics aren't how I remember LCs back in the day. Anyone got pics of one stuffed upside down in a hedge? or being bunged into the back of a van by marshals who were splitting their sides laughing at your misfortune?

How about a full race RD80 LC- or maybe it's a hybrid, because it has a YZ80 engine, a Harold Bartol replica fairing and seat, and CBR600 front brake caliper and a floating disk. I got a sixth place in the British 80cc Championship on this bike. www.dropbox.com/s/pdyto1g5nr91rya/YZ%2080%20LC.jpg?dl=0Cheers Dave

This one could have been an LC, because Villiers did make a water-cooled version of their X1VA engine- but I have never seen one. This is my Francis Barnett 250cc Seagull from 1938. My mother's cousin bought this bike new, for £40.00 in 1938. He passed it on to me in 1978, and I finally got round to restoring it this year. Cheers Dave

Here's another unusual one. It's a Greeves Sportsman, from 1961. It has a 250cc Villiers 2T twin cylinder motor, and has been turned into a race bike by fitting expansion pipes (1960s style, thin ones with no end cans). The best bit is the beautiful Brearley-Smith combined tank and seat unit. I don't own this bike, but I saw it in the paint suppliers I use, and asked about it, thinking at first that it was a Silverstone. It turned out that it had belonged to the business proprietor's father and had not been run for 45 years- which is how the full rebuild on the engine became Chapter two of my two stroke book. It ran like a train and sounded magnificent when it was finished. The owner was delighted!

There are lots of beautifully finished bikes on here, but this is definitely a "before" picture. I saw this bike in a line of restoration project bikes in DK Motorcycles in Newcastle under Lyne, and could not resist it. I've always been a big fan of tiny bikes, and felt jealous of the fact that the Japanese market includes an RG50 Gamma, but I'd never seen one. So here it is. Engine seems good, but there is work to do on the cycle parts, as you see. The great thing is that everything is there,(except the seat cover)
