commie_cub Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I found an older post with a similar title and thought to reply to it but the last post was two years ago and I thought this deserved a new topic. Anyway, a few years ago I rescued a bike that was listed in the paper as a "Triumph Cun". Figuring he meant "Cub" I called him up and picked up this thing from the side of the guys barn. It was in ROUGH shape, missing the engine, tank, seat etc. I started collecting parts for it on eBay, even found most of an engine though it wasn't a T20M but a regular old T20. I even listed this thing on the Cub website that was started back in 2000 or so and it was through here that I found out that my bike was a Commerford's Cub... well at least the frame was. It was at that point that I stopped restoration because I didn't want to screw this thing up, all I wanted was an old bike to work on and ride. I had picked up another T20 parts bike down at Provin Triumph in Pittsford, Vt to swap parts on... I stopped that too and now both bikes sit in my basement. Main question is... what should I do with it... is it worth fixing up in the mess that it's in? Would you do it if you were me? I'll post a picture of it, the only difference between the picture and the way it is now is that I've removed the heavily chipped blue paint and given it a coat of primer, cleaned it up and disassembled and boxed everything. http://www.prydein.com/T20M.jpg Please let me know what you think.
