Hello, I'm a new member and need to ask a question about a 1947 BSA C11. Sorry I couldn't find a post war section to ask in.
Please could someone let me know what date did the wheel size change from 20 inch to 19 inch on this model.
Many thanks.
From Roy Bacon's singles book and elsewhere, the change from 20" to 19" took place in 1952.
Thank you very much for this information. If I may I may ask other questions as I'm building the bike.
Questions about the C11 do not come up that often on the forum but there should be someone here who will be able to answer most queries. Back in the 1950's and 1960's, 20" wheels were quit common but rims and tyres can now quite hard to come by having been replaced for off road type bikes by 21" wheels. Worth looking to see what is available in 20" and, perhaps, consider changing to 19" if necessary?
Hi Fred, good luck and have fun with the restoration. Don't hesistae to ask for help of info on this forum where there are plenty of knowledegable and people.
Just to be sure you maximise responses I suggest the appropriate thread to post in is 'Singles' .
