[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 130127, member: 2708"] At the other end of the spectrum, my single leader BSA front brake wasn't at all snatchy. The bike would glide along beautifully with the brake full on! Back to the Egli. A clubmember owns an Egli project which is said to be a Slater " kit" The kit has never been assembled. The wheels supplied are from a Laverda. They weigh a ton, I think they could be heavier than Vincent wheels. The forks with that kit are also quite heavy. Headstock angle as I measured it was just 22degrees. This was a strange find given that Terry Prince told me " Fritz and I chose 27 degrees as the headstock angle, same as a Norton Manx, a bike known for great handling" I traced the complete shape of the 22 degree frame on plywood, but ended up using my own set of dimensions as that frame just did not seem right. Its never been assembled but my calculations the front wheel would possibly hit on the magneto/magneto replacement. It seems that there were quite a few different versions of the Slater Eglis and a number of frame builders, some very good ( Cheney) and some not so good. Glen [/QUOTE]
