Yep. I'd have that. :thumbup:

Looks a quality job from the details in the article.

I'd have to junk the knobblies.

A friend just bought this. Apparently it's a 1967 Triumph TR6 Trophy 650 in Desert Sled trim.
I thought 'sled' was a word for any bike and used flippantly by Henry Cole. Who knew it was a thang.

Yeah. If they'd fit, I'd put something like Tourances on it. Doesn't look like it'll take tubeless though. :(

That RE 650 has opened up a lot of bike build opportunity. This one's particularly good 👍

I like it but it doesn't really wow me personally.

If it were mine, I'd get rid of the stand foot prong.
