My long term '55 T110 restoration is complete. I am in the process of breaking in the engine and it is running great! Lots of pep, no smoke, and lots of fun.

Hi

The bike looks stunning. Great work!
 
That’s beautiful.

One of my all time favourite Triumphs, especially with the US bars.

Envious !
 
Wow! Beautiful work, great detail...all the way down to the luggage rack on the tank. Now, you/we know what happens if you ride it.
 
150 miles into the break in and the engine is running great. I have been giving it the berries through the gears and it has plenty of go, without a trace of smoke. Although it feels completely broken in I am still holding back a bit until it has more miles. Probably the most fun to ride bike I have ever restored.

Are you getting that classic pre unit snarl as you let her rev out?
 
Pretty close to perfection, in my eyes.

Maybe an Amaranth Red Speed Twin would rank a notch higher. Only because that was etched into my brain as a kid...

I agree. The Shell Blue Sheen set off by the styling bands with the small Triumph badge is, to me, one of the best looking of all.

I made a spirited play for this 39 ST at an auction last year but came up short to one with deeper pockets. It was a marvelous bike.

Wow. Cool.

You always hope everyone is asleep the day the bidding ends when you are the only bidder on a dream like that...

Personally, I'd have done an "oily rag" / make-run on that one, and ride as-was...
