Mmmmm - very nice . Great to see one that hasn`t been messed around with .... too much Good luck with the sale .
Rides good - the idea is that Earles stop the front diving on the rough, only used it on the road but it stiffens the front up a bit from what I remember of Cubs I've tried with standard forks.
I had 2 tiger cubs in the late sixties, great bikes, very rare now so prices are high. yours looks very fine. Have a look around on ebay etc. to get an idea of guide price. I saw a standard T20 sold at a country show last year for £2500
Now on the "Car and Classic" website - there's another on there in a dealers for 5k - so mine is competitively priced I think!!!
