Are these bikes/engines actually that old or are they modern replicas? (is there provenance?) The engine in the OP's post appears to be a newly made replica of the patent(?) sketch engine. The engine in the yellow bike is different - it has offset cylinders and matching OHV drives whereas the above engine has both cylinders in the same plane (as per the sketch). Bill |

These are what is known as Board Racers and raced around board tracks in the US of A. Not sure about the provenance of this one, needs a bit more digging but those casting look new as opposed to reclaimed. A genuine one sold for $520,000 in July 2008. However take a look at this link. http://flashbackfab.com/pages/excel00.html This is an Excelsior project |

Thanks for that link John, just spent 1/2hr looking through the pics, will need to go back and read it. Some very interesting machine set up but thats whats needed for small batch work. I can see a few modifiocations to my Hoglet comming on and now know what to hang it in. J |
