Square Barrel Trophy

Dennis just picked up a new project for the shop. This one makes 13 pre-unit projects between Dennis, RC, and myself!

This is a 1950 Triumph TR5 'Square Barrel' Trophy. One of only two years the model was made, and one of only 204 bikes produced for 1950. A friend of mine needed to sell this immediately so I told Dennis about it, and here it is. Almost all of the impossible to get stuff is with the bike, so it should be a pretty straight forward restoration.

More updates soon!

Yeah...we can fix your Triumph

...and your Harley, BSA, Norton, Matchless, Indian, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc. If you have a Triumph that needs work though, it will feel right at home for its stay.

Now powdercoating large items!

The oven is built! We have been powder coating in-house for a long time now, but had to send off frames, rims, etc. Now we can meet all of your cycle needs. The first big items aren't exactly bike parts, but you get the idea.
