Thanks for the great pics, nice to get a pre-season fix, thinking of great times to come. Hoefully the weather will improve by then.

It's got Fowleresque cylinder and motion work. As for what it is I don't know - maybe a "bitza".

Thats what i was thinking, Fowler/overhead valve aveling added to god knows what?. The front hubs look like normal cast jobs but the rears are fabrications.
