Beautiful machine. Those huge 4 leading shoe brakes from that era look so cool.

It's crap without a Featherbed frame. Joking. I'll take two.

[@brianperry]

I suppose the common denominator is, the Triumph frame was Crap,,,, hence 'whipping' the Trumpet engine out and sticking it in a Featherbed (Triton) ...Shed built Cafe Racer.

@@brianperry After 1965, nothing wrong with a Triumph frame or forks. Good 2ls brake 1967-on too.
