None of the attorneys I work with have a bike this rad. Also, you really missed out on a bar hopper joke. COME ON
 
Congratulations on the "Dailey". Great save, I've been following your build from the start and I am very impressed. Most people would have walked away or found a more complete project!

Dude I love your bike. I actually voted for it for botm

Thanks a bunch - means a lot coming from the winner! I'm glad to have seen your build too, because when I start on the little lady's build, I'll know where to get the front hub (she gets nicer things than me). Can they be ordered without anodization???

"Bar Hopper" should be the name of the bike - that's killer!!!

Thanks! Impoverishment forced my hand in most of the choices I made. The frames were free, most of the parts I got were not planned - but simply the cheapest available at the time. The next time I'll start with a more complete bike - Im starting to think Trinda is going to keep her stickers.
 
Riding home from work, my kicker pedal decided it had enough of starting my ratty machine and suicided

then my velocity stack decided it no longer wanted to be a part of Project Trinda.

Check torque on wheels and seat ;)

I believe today was my last ride for a bit; the 'wing doesn't handle particularly well on the ice.

New kicker pin, clutch cable, and velocity stack and I'm back on the road. Note to Triumph mechanics: loctite EVERYTHING - even your velocity stack

fun fact of the day, as discovered on Urban Dictionary:

Trinda:
A crazed girl whom loves the attention and always seems to put a smile on your face. She has many different interests, and can sometimes be a lot to deal with but in the end your always glad to have spent the day with such an interesting fun, beautiful person.

funny coincidence. I was just trying to rip off "Triton"
 
This thing is awesome, I think you might be local to me. Somebody mentioned seeing a mono shock converted triumph when they saw the last bike I built. Are you in the central mass area?

Thank you! glad you like it. I live in Newburyport, but I built it in New Bedford while I was in law school.
