Top 5 Triumph Vintage Hardtails


Top 5 Triumph Vintage Hardtails



The distinct profile of a Hardtail has made it one of the most popular classic bikes to this day. Lack of rear suspension created a clean simplistic look that it’s so well known for. These custom Bikes are built around vintage 1960’s and 1970’s British engines.

Below is a list of our top 5 vintage Hardtails

Falcon Motor Cycles Krestel



This was the second bike built in Ian Berry’s ‘Concept 10’ series. Ian discovered a damaged gearbox in his 1970’s Bonneville engine but managed to fix it on his own. Completely ripping out the damaged transmission, nearly every part of the Krestel was fabricated in-house from handlebars down to the exhaust.

Analog Motorcycles T120 “El Matador”


This bike is what happens when a motorcycle builder creates a bike for himself. A 2-year project, El Matador is built on a1968 Triumph frame powered by a 1972 650cc T120 engine.

David Borras T120R


Commissioned by the Vintage Racer David Borras, this kooky looking bike started with just a T120 Bonneville engine. Fitted to a Hardtail frame and rebuilt by the California Bike shop Hell on Wheels. The bike was most recently modified with a removable nose cone an custom paint job.

Untitled Motorcycles T100SS


London’s Untitled Motorcycles owner tracked down this broad track inspired Hardtail partially completed while on a “boys weekend” in Germany. The bike had extensive frame work done including powder coating, brasswork, and a carb intake system mad from an old car horn.

Eastside Bobber


Built in France, this bike is a daily rider customized for the dirt track. The owner, a French BMX rider who also runs a surf -and-moto shop, has modified the kick-start lever with a beat up BMX pedal and the chain is rolling on a Powell-Peralta skateboard wheel.
