I actually had a Triumph 10 speed when I was in college, although this isn’t it. I sold it to a friend in Ohio, who ran into a tree and broke the frame!
I got this frame off of eBay, to match my red Triumph Thruxton motorcycle. It is built with an old Nuevo record crank and bottom bracket pushing a 52/21 gear, generic headset (steel), and converted Record high-flange road hubs with older Mavic 700c rims, a Weinmann front brake and a cyclocross lever mounted on the flipped and chopped Cinelli bar (also on a Cinelli stem). The seat is an old Wrights, which I rode on my original fixie (Raleigh SuperCourse) for 3 years, then on the Green Hornet until I got the Storika.
This is more of an “around-town” bike, due to the bullhorns and the lack of a bottle cage mount.
