It’s a shame they did not mention the rim style on the build sheet, or maybe they did on some bikes.The bike in the back ground is mine and has Borrani's.

Pre-1969 BMWs, yes, not same.Are the Bing carbs 32mm similar to the ones on Airhead BMWs?
Very strange: Rims seem to have differing diameter on the foto?!If the B&W had Borrani's, what did the Rollie record bike have? B&W's looks like Dunlop to me.

Please note that Minet with its records starts in the middle of 1949, while the first three racing machines are not mentioned there.I will read the Minet book.
By now i should be able to read it.
Than out for one to have
Am I right, when I see a steel rim at the rear wheel and a flanged alloy rim at the front? Both have tyre bolts
CYBORG Are Ken C? If so I hear you may travel to Manitoba this summer. If so I hope the Golden Boys can buy you lunch and have a visit. Sorry to hijack the thread. I will add that I know the Len hardy Vincent Lightning well and we will in the future tell it's story when Barry S and I sit down for a chin wag..Looks like an alloy FT5 without the bit sticking up for the FT132 etc.
Also FT23/2 in alloy? Surprised to see them on there regardless of what they are made of? Speaking of what they are made of... I'll wager its not 7075. Anyone know what alloy they used for the G50?
