Looking to get back on a bike after 30 years out of the saddle –
need a British Bike simply because I cannot change gear with my left foot [due to a bike accident!] therefore must have gearchange on right hand side
Wanting something with a bit of oomph! but as I am but 5 foot and a bit tall- can’t do with the likes of a Constellation….
Love to get back onto the likes of a Goldstar but i can’t swallow the asking price…….
Thanks

I used to have a BSA D1 Bantam and found the Old bike Mart a good place to start.

failing that there are a couple of dealers who don’t take the piss too much with thier spares prices and from what I can remember may even give a discount if you join the BSA owners club.
