1898 Imperial Triumph No 14 Road Racer

This lovely Triumph came from an old friend in Italy. He swapped it for one of my bikes. My pal Alain picked it up for me when he was in Italy and took it to his house in France. Unfortunately, Brexit and the pandemic got in the way and it took over a year for me to receive it. As you can see, it’s now arrived in its home country, and here are some photos of it when I recently visited Falmer village pond.
