Bike Hunt...

Hi all,

I'm on what is probably an impossible mission but I'm hoping to find a particular bike or at least its history. My dad rescued a triumph from a skip in the early 70s and attempted to restore it; he didn't get very far and had to sell it in 1982/3 because he decided to build our family home instead...the nutter.

Anyway, he's now bedridden with Parkinson's and I'm feeling like I need to undertake some sort of quest to finish what he started.

There are two pictures of the bike (attached) and I'm hoping someone might recognise it in its original state or at least be able to tell me what type, year, etc. I don't have engine number or anything else that might help to ID the bike.

I know it's probably an impossible mission but got to try right? One never knows....

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time and the info, all good stuff!! Al

 

Thanks for that Steve, I have noticed that there don’t appear to be any pix of a T100 with a seat like that...and I think my dad may have had a BSA in the 60s...or was at least fond of them. Thanks for taking your time to look at the photos Steve, much appreciated.
