Title: Any one know where to get a lock from?
Post by: Jeremy R65 on June 24, 2015, 07:17:12 AM

Does anyone know where I might be able to get one of the security locks that seem to scissor in the middle and which were originally supplied to fit inside the top frame tube on my R65?  Alternatively, has anyone found another lock that fits in the top tube? Thanks, Jeremy

PS.  Done around 500 miles on "Otto" now and am getting used to its strange ways after years on a Velocette 500, but still find the abrupt clutch a problem......

Motobins used to carry them, suggest that you email them and ask if they are ever coming back. The originals were made by Trelock who are still in business and big in bicycle accessories. A quick look at their webiste doesn't find anything similar, but you could ask.

Thanks Tony. I could not find these on Motobins website (or any where else) so rang Motobins and they have sold me a good second hand one for £15.50.  result!  Jeremy
