1968 Triumph Trophy 250 - TR25W
« on: March 17, 2015, 10:36:51 AM »
I am needing a street titled 1968 Triumph Trophy 250 - TR25W frame.  If you have more than that, and it is cheap enough, I may be interested in that as well.  I would like to end up with two or three of these titled bikes at some point.  I am not looking for a mint bike, as I am going to use a different engine ('71 T25T) and modify the tins and possibly the frame.  This may or may not make it to the salt, as it will be more of a vintage street racer.  I am located in north central Iowa, and I have the ability to have stuff shipped to me.

There is a 1970 Triumph Trophy in Wenatchee, WA. Not sure if it helps but here is the ad if you want to check it out. http://wenatchee.craigslist.org/mcy/4916931036.html

The 1968-1970 Triumph TR25W and 1968-1970 BSA B25 are basically all the same.  But, I am trying to build a tribute bike, and would really like to stick with that '68 TR25W.

You might want to look at B50.org (go to the forums there). Many members there also have 250 Triumph/BSAs. If you put a note on the 'Bikes Wanted', there's a good chance of some responses.

Good call, thank you.  I am not sure if I am on that forum, but I have been to the site.  I have posted this on TriumphRat and BritBike.

I have asked Randy for titled frames in the past, and he has said no.  I have not asked him about this project, yet.
