This Triton was originally built in 1989
After 903 miles it was laid up in his garage where it stayed for 28 years

Slightly more radical in style, but keeps the true Café Racer look
Only the frame, forks, engine, gearbox, petrol tank, Tomaselli leavers & headlamp remain of the original build
This reconstruction was carried out by Steve Blackwell a founder member of the Triton Owners Club. Steve built numerous Tritons over the years in different guises, no two are ever the same.
Originally built in 1989, it changed hands soon after and was purchased by a gentleman in Woking. After 903 miles it was laid up in his garage where it stayed for 28 years, before being purchased by the current vendor. It languished in the vendor’s garage for a further 6 years, during which time he sourced period parts to rebuild it. Slightly more radical in style, but keeps the true Café Racer look. Only the frame, forks, engine, gearbox, petrol tank, Tomaselli leavers & headlamp remain of the original build.
The vendor has said: “This rebuild was started in June 2014 and the new-born Triton was road tested by Steve and MOT’d on 25th June 2015. I trailered it home and it has stood in the garage ever since. However, the engine has frequently been run-up and the transmission engaged All invoices associated with Steve’s work are available together with detailed photo records.” photos with the bike under construction
