Overview[edit | edit source]

BSA C10





BSA's 'C' range of lightweight machines was introduced in 1938. Similar in many ways to those of the larger 'B' range, whose wheels and brakes were employed, the cycle parts consisted of a simple diamond frame and girder front fork. First model was the C10 sidevalve single with coil ignition and three-speed hand-change gearbox. A de luxe C10 with foot-change gearbox joined the range in 1939, as did the overhead-valve C11, and when war broke out in September of that year BSA's entire stock of 1940 models was requisitioned by the War Office for military use.
