This clean cafe is ready to race
You ever have a bike you sold, yet over the years regret? I’m sure most of us have a few but there’s always one that really stings. For me, our original Bullitt OG is that bike. Memories of the front end swap. Getting forged wheels to fit. New spacers here. New lines there. The work felt endless… But over the years, the pain and frustration fades and the good memories remain. Someone who knows the feeling is Andrew from Trident Cycles. I’ve been following their work for for some time, and absolutely loved watching their stunning blue Triumph Thruxton R take shape. It’s strikingly familiar to the OG…but admittedly, even more race-ready. When I saw Trident share that they were selling their build I had to reach out for the details. I’m happy to share the specs and details here on one side, but on the other, I just want to buy it for myself.

First $9k takes it, which is a freaking STEAL for what you’re getting, Trust me, I’ve built one close and know how much blood, sweat, tears, and dollars he poured into this bike. If I wasn’t in the middle of multiple projects, I’d snag it for myself. Hit me up at if interested, and I’ll be happy to make in intro.
And just a few pics of Andrew putting her through her paces. Damn she looks fun!
