Hi,
Just joined the VOC, following the realisation of a 30 year intention to 'own a Vincent'.
I'll post a proper introduction to myself and the bike shortly - but for now, lets just say that thread will become a rebuild documentary since my Vincent came 'in large bits and various boxes'.
I'm currently going through itemising what's there, and more importantly what's missing - and building up a frightening large list on the Vincent spares website.
One question that the learned members of this site may be able to assist with: I see pistons are available in 7.3:1 and 8:1. Which would best suit a '51 comet? Intended usage best described as, ahem, 'fast road', I believe is the term.
