Hi all I believe that my great grandfather Frederick William Barnes was an engineer for Rex before he moved to Zenith in 1907. It seems that he was responsible for the Rex patented spring fork and cantilever saddle suspension. Can anyone add to this information?? Would be most grateful for any information or advice!

Thanks

1906-07 Rex
Can you put me in contact with anyone that is an knowledgable in 1906-07 Rex Motorcycles made in England.  I'm an Australian restorer.
Regards Robert Binns
........

I have attached two photos of Rex motorcycles. The restored bike 1906 (belonging to a friend of mine in Australia) and the second print from an original glass negative is a 1907.  The print was kindly given to me by Adrian Holden a photograph at Sutton Coldfield in the UK. The two bikes share many common components including the front forks, and all of the engine except the crankcases (1906 is a 3 point cradle mount and the 1907 is a "keystone" 4 point mounting).  It is my understanding that sometime through 1907 magneto ignition either replaced battery ignition or was offered as an option.  The 1907 remains I have is magneto ignition.   I have also attached a copy of the REX logo.

I hope this information is of some value to your site.  I would be interested is making contact with anyone that has information or Rex motorcycles in general and particularly from either of the years mentioned. Incidentially, my interest in 1906 Rex motorcycles has arisen from my grandfather owning this model for some years around 1909, it was a mount he spoke very highly of.  Many years ago I was fortunate to come by the remains of his bike and have been collecting since.

Regards Robert Binns, Australia.

La misma tiene 3 velocidades, palanca de cambios en el tanque, la horquilla delantera es con resorte como las motos antiguas.Por lo poco que se sabe tiene un parecido con la Peugeot 125, 150, 175c.c de los años 40 al 50.
El encendido es por magneto y la luz es tambien por el mismo sistema.
El rodado es de 17 pulgadas.
Yo poseo dicha moto en un estado practicamente original.El color original es beige .
Agradesco si ustedes tienen informacion sobre dicha moto y si fuera posible enviarme especificaciones y una foto de la misma.
Como dato adicional en el motor y platos de freno se encuentran inscripciones en idioma frances.
Desde ya muy agradecido por lo que puedan informarme en caso de que ustedes me lo solicitaran enviaria foto de dicha moto.

From Sheldon:  My best translation.  Someone please inform me if I missed something.
I need information on a 1938 Rex 98c.c. motorcycle. It has 3 speeds, gearshift in the tank, the front (????) is like the motorcycle Antiguas. I believe it is similar to the Peugeot 125, the 150, 175c.c of 1940 to 50. The ignition is by magneto and the light is also by the same system.  Wheels are 17 inches. This motorcycle is in original condition, and the original color is beige. I am hoping that someone will have information on this motorcycle and that it will be possible to send me specifications and possibly a photo of a similar one. Additional data on the motor and plates of the brakes are inscriptions in the French language. I will be very thankful for any information or photos that are supplied.  --   Alejandra Di Leone -- adl at adinet.com.uy  Uraguay
