Never heard of that model of bike before, but it's a pretty one and I'll bet it was up there with Brough as king of the 20's roadburners in it's day ....

Very nice. :thumb:

Did they use a JAP engine?

I just Googled Bonhams and it is a British Anzani with 8 valve heads.

  That may have been faster than the Brough since it had an 8 valve engine.
 I believe the 1920 Brough had a side valve engine.  In spite of this, the Brough was capable of 100 MPH.

Nice they put brakes on it, even if they are just for show......

I think a Schwinn Stingray had the same size drum brake.

Yeh the old bikes could go fast but not stop that quick for sure. Lots of obscure brands sprung up and faded out after a couple of years. Never heard of that one .
