I have measured the width of the rear swinging arm and it appears to be the same as for my 61 road cub 160mm inside, 175mm outside diameter so at least for now I can fit a standard cub wheel to it. I have seen while looking for a replacement wheel that there are "trials" axles, can someone tell me what the differences are?

Thank you for the information about the article in review 8 I have read through that now and look forward to seeing some photos if you can find them Deryk. I am particularly interested in finding out whether the rear end of the frame looks right and would welcome your thoughts as I know nothing about rigid frames and it's obviously very different from what was there originally and what I'm familiar with. I'm hoping to have a chance to measure the distance for the rear axle so I can at least get the machine wheel able by cobbling up something temporary.

Would love to see your D5 tigress. Best of luck with the trials!

Thank you guys for the replies and I welcome any information. This is how I picked the bike up. Looks a bit sad but hopefully if the engine is good then not too much to get it rolling again.

Hi I have just joined and have just purchased a Triumph Tiger Cub with a 250cc Triumph Tigress / BSA Sunbeam engine installed. It's apparently been tuned and had also taken part in some trials in the past and was ridden by Pixie Briggs. So I can decide it's fate (restore as a trials machine or convert into a road cub) I would very much like to find out what it looked like at the time. I have uploaded a photo on how it now looks. This is my first trials machine. My other machines are road going Tiger Cubs and the BSA / Triumph Scooters - 175cc and 250cc. hope someone can help me!
