Beautiful bike. I changed mine fitted alloy rims, guards etc hi level pipes a Us tank pancake filters etc it used to really wind up the standard bike brigade. I grew up with triumphs dad had them until late 80’s when he finally bought a jap bike and was blown away by how good they were. My older brother still has my dads 78 us t140 that he bought from apple motorcycles in Leicester. I’m seriously looking for a Greeves or a cub at the moment as my mates belong to the taverners. A friend of mine is selling his Greeves trials bike - it's lovely if you'd like me to put you in touch with him send me a PM.. Hi mark I am sticking to a tight budget of £3000 as I’ve never trialed before although used to do loads of green laning. I recently missed out on a Greeves Scottish at a really good price. I don’t want to spend a fortune just give it a go see how I get on and play from there. There is a nice cub but it’s in Scotland and I’m in East Midlands. I’m in no mega hurry I’ll get one I’m sure. Re the build thread absolutely love to see it 👍

I think you're there or thereabouts price wise & I'll ask him. These Pre 65 trials bikes fetch good prices & especially the Draytons & AW/DRR frame bikes if they do come up for sale.
Why not build one?
