Triumph t120 (or tr6) engine….. metisse frame?
 
More pictures please…….whatever it is
 
Stay tuned. There's a long way to go yet.

To them that knows, make of engine fairly obvious, and the frame. Front brake fairly easy. Can anyone ID the rear wheel?
 
No it's not. It's a "work in progress"

I'm away at the moment, but lots of pics to follow
 
A few 'opportunities' (as in problems) along the way.

The rear wheel's axle wouldn't fit the Norton swing-arm, and the Norton axle wouldn't fit the wheel, so we had to make an axle that would suit both.

We then needed a rear brake torque arm. As we didn't want to weld brackets to the frame or swing-arm;- things didn't line up anyway, we designed and made this. It locks the brake plate to the swing-arm. Not only is it functional but also a work of art. Well, I think so.

We thought the carb manifolds available for Triumph's were a bit naff. So again, we designed and made these. 30mm at the carb, 29mm at the head.

The work continues.

I'm not sure about the torque arm.... Looks good, but you seem to be depending on the swing arm fork end to take all of the load. Could that not cause the fork to spread if the wheel locks? (A bit like using an open ended spanner on a heavily loaded nut)
