Description
Balco Triumph 500 Trials
We originally built this bike in the mid-'80s at the birth of the Pre-65 movement and have continued to constantly improve and lighten it since then.
It uses an extensively modified and lightened BSA single frame, with a modified headstock angle and re-fabricated backend, all nickel-plated. Triumph four-bolt forks, all new old stock. Alloy-bodied Rock Shocks. Cub hubs, stainless spokes with dark green anodised rims. Handmade petrol tank.
The engine has had extensive work to provide smooth, linear power. It also has electronic ignition and trials gearing, both primary and secondary. All these modifications allow the engine to pull smoothly from tick-over while easily lofting the front wheel in top gear.
This is a one-off hand-built bike that has many class wins, sounds fantastic, and is much admired wherever it is ridden.
Part exchange possible.
