c.1902/3 Veteran Motorcycle Project suitable for a Clement/ Werner Type Engine.

Offered as a rare opportunity for the pioneer enthusiast or builder: a kit of original period parts gathered over many years to assemble an early veteran clip-on motorcycle (ideal for engines such as Clément, Werner, or similar early units dating from 1902/3.

Key Components & Features:

• Frame: Original period heavy-tubed cycle/motorcycle and forks built with the correct geometry and clearance for a pioneer engine. Nice details including the ornate front fork crown.

• Fuel Tank: Slim brass pointed bullet shaped cross-bar fuel tank in period pattern.

• Wheels: Fitted with proper period Westwood pattern rims.

• Seating: Period French 'Ideal' double-sprung leather saddle mounted on a correct rear-facing L-shaped pillar (leather is intact with characterful aging).

• Controls & Steering: 1-inch swept handlebars complete with a rare set of original cork-lined grips and the remains of the period plunger front brake lever setup.

• Brakes & Drivetrain: Matching front and rear calliper brakes alongside an authentic 5-arm chainset.

• A new old stock ornate brass headstock badge is also included.

Condition: The components vary in surface finish and patina as expected for items of this era, but all present a solid foundation for restoration or sympathetic oily-rag assembly. Note that no engine is included—the parts are currently loosely assembled for photographic illustration only. 

Stand not included.
