Title: ??? 1934 triumph
Post by: ray on April 05, 2007, 04:04:54 PM

Just wondering if you may be able to help

 

I have a , I believe a 1934 triumph possibly a 5/2 ??? single 500cc frame number F1240. it a basket case at the moment slowly working on it. Just wondering if anyone can give me some clues on it's heritage??. I belive it is one of Val Pages first designs when he came from ariel to triumph. I am in Perth Western Australia and trying to find some history behind this bike. I have been searching the net for a couple of years and seem to always end up either in the 1920's or 1937 onwards eg speed twins or tigers i am unable to find info of bikes around this year, You're info / assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

There are vintage bike clubs in Oz but they all seem to be more in the twin triumph era.

 

Specs as I have the bike Single Side Valve 500cc, rigid of course, duplex frame, pre unit of course, if you need any more info which will help please advise.
