Nice, I thought I was looking at an Armstrong until I noticed the different clocks, headlamp shroud, and chain guide. Good looking bike. ;)

Great rebuild and nice pictures too - but is it really a 350 not a 500? I too thought it was an Armstrong.... I wait to be educated :?

Its very similar to the Armstrong but SWM have put a slight spin on a few components, for what looks like ease of maintenance.

I think youll find the SWM came first and the Armstrong that we know is a derivative of that - CCM bought the jigs from SWM.
