Thanks Dave.

I've joined your group because one cannot have too much advice and support.
I have a life long love of triumphs and have a 1953 t100 spring hub and a 1964 t100 sc which I imported from Baxter cycles..

I live in Wales. U. K.

All the best Frank.

Welcome from New Orleans.
My 1st Triumph was a 1953 650 with dual carbs and of course the sprung hub. I don't recall T-what.

Good morning gents.. Thanks for the warm welcome... Sikatri wanted a few photos.

I've had the 53 for twenty five years..
The 1964 SC for just a couple of years.. I couldn't start it when it arrived and then I had surgery on my right knee.

And it was at the back of the shed looking like it would have to go.
Our local classic bike expert has recently installed the Electrex module and we've ditched the energy transfer system. It's like night and day.. He even started it with his hand when he brought it back.. I was amazed.

Now I can start it I'm working my way through the bike changing the oils and checking everything.. Bit of a shock when I discovered the tyres were over 21 years old. New rubber on last week and if it ever stops raining here I will sort out another shake down ride.
If I can get one of the shorty cranked kick start levers I 'll probably put it on.. At present it has a t100 lever.. Hope your winters are short.. All the best Frank.

Awesome! Loved the pics. Surgeries are a bummer, had rotator cuff surgery done earlier this year and just now starting to feel 100 percent. Takes time.

Great pictures. Sure miss my '53. Bought it '58 in about 10 boxes. Spent a year learning about how to put it all back together and how to pour new bearings and fit the crank and wrist pins. The only Triumph dealer was a ferry boat ride away in Victoria, BC. They assisted in getting the sprung hub back together after I foolishly looked inside.
