Title: Wandering around the frame
Post by: Gup holland on 19 Apr, 2023, 20:17
I'm rebuilding the engine after more than 30 years riding the bike, but the frame also needs a respray.
So i came across Some brackets and would-be like to know , where is it for?

Same thoughts like 30 years ago.

1: bracket along the downtube right, above the motormount, weld seems like original.

2: the pointed plate underneath the sadel on the middle tube.

3: bracket on the right, under the backtube of the frame.

Lightning 1970 frame,

Gr alex

I have got no purpose for these, but where is / was it for?????

Hi Alex,
           Image 2 and 3, pointed brackets to put a bicycle pump between to inflate your tyres.

The first image l cant quite make out its orientation, but there's no bracket on the front downtube normally.

Best wishes...

Thanks Bess, never knew about the bicycle pump was on that bikes off that year, now those brackets makes sense.

I never have seen  a bracket on the down tube too, maybe extra Steering damper??

Who knows, Can tell?

Gr alex
