Rebuilt Sturmey Archer Competition TT lightweight vintage motorcycle gearbox
This small Sturmey Archer TT gearbox is a bit of a mystery. I have plenty of information on the TS model. As I’m not a specialist in Sturmey Archer motorcycle gearboxes, I don’t have detailed records of any boxes that they supplied for competition. All that I know is that the “TT” stamp suggests that it was a competition box.
I’m told that the Calthorpe motorcycles used them. I guess around 1910-15. As it’s a Sturmey Archer gearbox, I imagine it was supplied to many other manufacturers of lightweight veteran and vintage motorcycles.
The only reference that I can find to a TT box, is an advert for a shell only for a 3-speed version that was model type 10P. It was also a 2-stud box.
It’s 2-stud. So, it’s for early machines up to about mid 1920’s. The sequential number is 568.
Condition: I can confirm that it turns smoothly by hand. It appears to have been rebuilt and made ready for use with a pulley, “clutch” worm lever and gear change on the side.
The casing is intact. It doesn’t have cracks.
If you wish to spend less on one of these, I have another one, with a pulley but without the worm drive and selector.
