Memories of JABS
I thought you may be interested in a photo I have of JABS, as built by Phil Webb in the 1950s. He made a lovely job of building it, similar to a Featherbed frame but lower. I first knew JABS when raced by Chris Williams. I remember him telling me how he decided to rebore and tune it, whereupon it seized at Silverstone and broke his leg. He was nursed by my then wife at St Albans City Hospital, which he survived…
A few years later it was advertised by Comerfords in London for £100, so I rushed down and bought it.
