This is my 1955 Triumph Thunderbird,fitted with an S.U carb as standard,along with coil ignition and alternator lighting,it makes a more practical classic than some of its more glamorous stable mates.It has big bearing crankcases and is fitted with a one piece crank taken from a 1960s unit construction Trophy TR6.The front brake started life in a T110 and is a slight improvement on the original.This bike is nice to ride now,it must have been a revelation in the 50s.
