I tend to see this as destroying a bike that will now be pretty rare. Unless the original was a complete wreck in a shed, of course.

Don't seem particularly rare yet. A restored '51 is about £6.5k, there are others in trials format etc etc.The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 6:55 pm I tend to see this as destroying a bike that will now be pretty rare. Unless the original was a complete wreck in a shed, of course.
Wouldn't want it but I think they've done a nice job on that one^^^. I hope they haven't done it to a mint one though too.

It looks like a D1 Bantam with a beer gut

Slightly lower and swept back Chrome bars with black 'proper' grips, maybe a slightly bigger tank and it would be spot on.
If is was being extra fussy I'd have twin Amals too,
I love minimalist builds that show of the old Triumph motors, pre-unit or unit
9/10

I brew beer. Should I pour it over a Bantam or drink it to make it look that good?

Only if there's enough alcohol in it to take a match....
