Wow1 This is about the only picture I have of my Triumph done. So here are the stats from what I can remember. 1966 T110TT, rigid one piece frame using stock front half, Mark I sprung hub laced to a 16" Harley wheel, Bates seat, early rigid fenders, MCM fork covers, Bates headlight and taillight, early rigid oil tank, battery tray and tool box. I really loved that bike. I wanted to own a 40s Triumph and at the time I just didn't have that kind of money so I built one out of a 60's Triumph chopper I bought from Milwaukee Joe. It was the first bike I had ever "finished." Couldn't have done it without Chopper Dave's help. I sold it on 9/11/01. Poor Japanese buyer was in the air when the towers went down. Must have made for a hell of a flight. If you haven't figured it out that is Flathead Jedd perched upon the bike. God I look like hell.
