I have now in my possession a Dalesman Scout frame and a spare Sachs motor. I found this little thread thru Google-should have come here in the first place. Wondering if there is some original running gear out there. Please bear in mind I'm just tyre kicking at the moment as my Steel Tanker is my next project. Cheers Bill

Bill,
I have a Dalesman enduro and have been keeping an eye out for about 5 years and can't say I've seen 1 item worth purchasing. It's obviously a very hard bike to find parts for.

From what I have seen these were only imported into the U.S. by one dealer in Glens Falls N.Y. My bike still has their dealer sticker on the body.

Good luck and I hope you have better luck than I have had.

Dan.

my  dealer back then was chuck bohler, he rode a dalesman at the isle of mann for ron jeckel the importer,won a silver metal. broke a shock on day six. he said he did not like the bike very much

Yes, Ron Jeckel is the name that's on the dealer sticker. It was a few years ago that I remember seeing an old post from his son and he was trying to find a restored Dalesman. I don't remember what year the post was from or where it was posted.

Another brand for history from a by-gone day. Long live the Sachs motor...

Thanks for the insight guys. Remember I'm down in Oz so I guess it will be a little harder here. Guess I will have to try as we say Pommy land.
Cheers Bill
