ace!.......but you some how managed to ruin the second pic by parking a turd behind your new project thus blocking a Kat......

[richardgs1000]

the turd has now gone a quick flip to generate cash to buy the saxon the katana is a thing of beauty (also for sale)

[caferacerdan]

that saxon is ace! looking forward to seeing it all built

Slowly making some progress

An original looking bike. I remember seeing a Saxon Lavatory Jota (or maybe 1200 Mirage) back in the early 80's at a petrol station on the M1 when going home from the Transatlantic races at Donington (must have been 1984). It was much like a Harris Magnum and I have never seen another since. I like the tail unit. Is it fabricated aluminium alloy? Also, the swingarm looks like it was made by Spondon as it has their distinct chain adjusters.

[busa ash]

yes seat unit and tank both hand crafted aluminium

Spata here. I have just registered again... I was last registered on the old forum which is where that picture of my Saxon came from. The Saxon in this thread is definitely newer than mine. There were only 11 of my version made. I ended up getting a dating certificate from Nigel Hill who was the proprietor of Saxon Racing. Mine was built in 1983.

Here are some pictures I got from Nigel of his original Demo bike.

Sorry... not named after that guy. You need to see the pigeon poop welds I do ... then you'd understand!

I have just realised that I think Richards frame is made by Saxon Engineering. Mine was made by Saxon Racing. Two completely different companies. I think Saxon Racing last traded around 5 years ago when I guess Nigel Hill retired.

SPATA!!!!

Im sure this was tracy martins old frame/tank/seat unit as well, Bernies bike breakers had it for sale in the early 90's . Often regretted not buying it, rolling chassis was £600 at the time.

[nlovien]

thats a nice take on frame design - its got a few features that make it stand out - wish I'd seen this before - I would have copied the ex pipe versus the down tube solution - i.e. how the tubes are curved out to enable 1 and 4 to remain inside the loop - 

[ibrakeformoose]

Interesting to know if this is my old bike.. ex-Tracy Martin.

The swingarm is different though, as I have a steel drag-slotted one in there.

I have lots of pics of the build back in the early 90's.. pm me and I'll tell you where the frame number is and what it is, what it was registered as and what it could be registered back to (if you get my drift)

I sold it (when it was beautiful again) to a chap in Oxford, working at Rover and all he did was drag race it around the Cowley site.. assuming it actually is that bike..
