Hi,
I'm Peter, introduced myself back in early September, hoping to bring my bike to Bonneville in August 2012 with OZ and the rest of the crew from the UK.
I come from Epsom in Surrey, UK, and the town is famous for Epsom Salts (MgS04-7H2O), hence the very fitting name of my project, The Epsom Salt.
The bike is being built by renowned Triumph tuner Dick (The Baron) Smith of Baron Speed Shop. Dick also works at Ace Classics restoring and rebuilding classic Triumphs.
The bike is based off a Triumph 1960 6T, and will remain 650cc. Below are a couple of shots so far, early days but now the frame is finished we can begin work on the rolling chassis. The motor will be built after the rolling chassis is done, however we have so far sourced crankcases, cylinder head, and barrels. A Joe Hunt magneto will be used.
Feel free to ask any questions.
regards
Peter
