My girl's vintage Triumph

[mickle]

A bike for a 14 yo girl who's into 'vintage'.

1982 Triumph boy's bike. Flakey brush painted blue over original faded metalic red.Upgraded with Speedway racing wheels in 26 x 1 3/8ths! DX freewheel. Dropped fenders over skinny whitewalls. It's a hotrod!

The wheels plus mudguards reminds me of the rondel on Wiggins' helmet! The colour ''scheme'' is, let's say, chaotic. Still, there is a riot in patriotic, I suppose! I didn't know Raleigh used curved top tubes back in the 80s.

It's a Triumph - and actually, the age is based entirely on the age of the Sturmey Archer - which, thinking about it, may well have been replaced at some point in its life...

You're soo wrong. There is only one 'colour' for bicycle chains. And that's chrome plate.

Yup, she loves it. Her hair matches the colour of the rims too!
