Triumph 250 MX
« on: August 04, 2013, 05:44:54 am »
Hi All
I got to see this "homemade" Triumph 250 MX today.

Mostly all there except for wheels. The builder was an acquaintance who ran an engineering shop in the town where we lived. It would appear that he got some of his ideas from the Cheney and Hagon bikes available at the time.

It's in my car now......found a back wheel too.
All I can say is: It's heavy

Will do some inspection tonight to see what's what.
