We are still gathering the required bits and pieces to start building up the Ariel but some things are already in place;

The engine is already sorted, basically it's a short stroke 350cc engine with a bored Ally barrell to just over 400cc, a wide ratio trials gear box, a BTH mag and has only done a few trials sine a complete rebuild so no real work to be done there except a bit of elbow grease and some overtime on the polishing mop.

A new Bartram frame (oil in top and down tubes) is there (see pictures), as are the new Ally Ariel Tank (again see pics) and new NEB belt drive clutch.

The primary cases, bash plate and silencer should be with us this weekend and the following bits should come from Wrighty in the next few days;

Whitton yokes, new cables, ally mudguards, chain and footrests

We will then spend this weekend stripping down the bike, salvaging all the bits that will be used in the re-build and starting the clean up job before dry assembly over then next month.

Pics will be posted as we go and also as nice new shiney bits arrive
