From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The James Cycle Co Ltd., Greet, Birmingham, England was one of many famous British cycle and motorcycle makers centred around the English Midlands, particularly Birmingham. James were prolific bicycle and motorcycle manufacturers from 1897 to 1966, when they became casualties of the decline in the British motorcycle industry under pressure from Japanese imports.
