Here is my Triumph Roadster - 1975 model with SA 3spd hub and dyno.
An eBay impulse purchase fuelled by late night nostalgia - in the mid 70's I developed a real focus on utilitarian roadsters like this. At the time they were deeply unfashionable and undesirable due to their appearance and weight.
Its totally original and hasnt been messed about with - there is a light patina to the paintwork and chrome but all the transfers are intact and the dealers sticker is still in place! Everything works fine including the lights.
At the moment its lives in a friends shed as I dont have space for it at home. I have only ridden it once and to be honest its unlikely to get much use. I thought about selling it but for what it would make its probably not worth it. I did list it on eBay for about a week but no one bid so I withdrew it. So for now it remains in the shed - with a light covering of WD40 to keep corrosion at bay.

I used to sell these in the 70's
