My son Ben and I are embarking on a new project... Its a 1968 Triumph T120. we bought the bike as a basket case before we even knew exactly what we needed to build the bike. most of the big parts were there but there are plenty of smaller parts that were missing. Our fist order goal is to acquire all the little parts that weren't in the crates.

we are on a limited budget...like always....so we are going to try to do as much of it ourselves. we have gotten all the parts cleaned and ready to assemble.

We built the front end with all new parts; roller bearings, new tubes and bushings. everything was painted because the chrome was thrashed and we didn't want to spend the money to re chrome or powder coat. our goal is to build a bike that runs good rolls streight ride good and stop well. looks are not a priority. we wanna ride!
