1974 Rickman CR BSA A75 - Very Rare

Very rare Rickman BSA Triple CR road racer built in limited numbers. This bike was brought back from the UK by an Air Force Captain in 1976 but was actually built in 1974. Believed to be a set of service cases ordered and built for the chassis. I really wanted to restore the bike but do not think I will ever find the time so it's time to pass it along to someone who can.

The bike is mostly complete as shown But there will be some minor parts missing. What you see is what i have for the bike. I have started to disassemble the bike and have tried polishing the Nickel frame in a few spots and it comes up with a great shine but wonderful patina very easily. I have the swing arm professionally polished to see how good a pro could get it and as you can see it looks great! The fiberglass is in good condition especially for it's age. but there are a couple of spots that need minor repair. I did buy a NOS seat in the correct color that is included. I believe the mileage is genuine as the tires on the bike were date code 1974 and had very little wear. Borrani rims are straight and in very nice condition. I have a few sundry new parts for it including a rear master cylinder rebuild kit which had to be bought from the UK.

Very rare and cool project for someone. The Rickman book shows this bike delivered to Rivetts of London Ltd. in Leytonstone. I used to visit this shop on a regular basis in this period so really feel a connection. All the research I have done has not shown another Rickman CR built with a BSA A75 engine so it may just be that this is a 1 of 1 bike.

Sold as is for restoration. Has a clean Missouri title. I have many more pictures that can be sent on request. I will ship anywhere. Contact/text me with any questions 949-291-9518.
