Title: triumph restoration
Post by: greenbike on May 10, 2008, 07:21:08 PM

Hi all,
I've just come back to biking after a long lay off and have bought a 1974 U.S Spec Bonnie.  It needs work however, and I'm not particularly good as a mechanic.  Does anyone know/have experience of, any good Triumph restorers? Thanks, Phil

And (yet again!) we don't know where you are on the planet, so makes suggesting anyone rather difficult?

Sorry, realised once I'd submitted the question, Duh! I'm in Yorkshire, but realise I may have to travel to get the bike done.  That's not a major problem, although within 150 miles would be good. Thanks

I don't know much about Triumphs myself, but I understand that the expert is Hughie Hancox based in Coventry tel 07773 591694.
