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.
Although these vintage models are hard to come across these
days, but make sure to check out classic 2014
