1968 Triumph

Clear

We built this bike to help raise some money for childrens charities. The bike was featured in Cycle Source Magazine December 2009, Kopteri Magazine March 2010 and on line at bikernet.com ( see the feature here) http://www.bikernet.com/pages/story_detail.aspx?id=220 It took Best in Class and Best Handmade Parts 2009 and 2010 as awarded by Ron Finch (see the photo) It started off life as a 1968 TR6C Triumph and I called in a bunch of favors from friends in the industry and they all came thru for me. Hank Young, Robert Pradke (Indian Larry's painter), Clay Cobb, Chica's Custom Cycles, Goblin Millworx, 7-Metal West, frame maker David Bird and a slew of others chipped in one-off custom parts from the engraved side panels on the tank to the custom brass foot pegs and solid engraved .50cal shifter and brake pedals. The Triumph neck badge was salvaged from a 1903 Triumph bicycle. There are a ton of one off detail parts too numerous to mention here. Check out the photos and see the bikernet article listed above to see more of this bikes pedigree. The bike has less then 50 miles on her rebuilt motor as I did not want to ride it much as it was built to sell. feel free to email me with any serous questions. Buyer will be responsible for picking the bike up. $1,000 deposit due at end of auction via Paypal, Final payment is in cash only due at pick up as I've been burned before Bike has a clear NYS transferable registration.
