nice but a 350/4 in a drixton frame would not be accepted here. Dont think that that mix was ever done back at the time.....

but neither did anybody race 500/4 with drum brakes , so what do i know ? :)

At least I see another small part Ï made. Great looking bike from Lex.

Better sorry for failing then for the lack of trying.
