As young teen I saw 3 things that I liked about the bike: cool name because of the Triump cars & cycles, the color red, and the gear/brake components were Weinman brand. So I knew the bike was of good quality and considered a watered down version of the Raleigh 3 speed, which made the Triump bike more affordable than the Raleigh 3 speed.<br /><br />Other 3 speeds were made back then but their quality wasn't as good. Columbia, Murray, Huffy were brands to avoid. <br /><br />Sears and Skyway also made bikes that were very similar to the Triump. <br />Robert from Old AT&T CSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515732221203557538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-35955856301761684812018-01-21T08:32:16.427-08:002018-01-21T08:32:16.427-08:00Thanks for the offer; I'll probably be able to...Thanks for the offer; I'll probably be able to find one closer. <br />I hadn't shopped bikes in decades and, having just gotten back into riding, I'm surprised that this type of bike (Raleigh or Triumph, narrow diamond frame, 3-speed) isn't very available new. I've had 10-speed and 12-speed bikes and appreciate the additional gears, but the vast majority of commuting and pleasure riding work with 3 speeds.

Then I went to college and my brother took it over. Don't know what happened to it (this was new in 1965) but I'd really like to get one - I like that look of the front fender, and it was really light. I live near Dallas if anyone happens to have an old one I can fix up.MotoMike88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629466163509413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-42225609504734773742016-09-22T14:00:23.176-07:002016-09-22T14:00:23.176-07:00Any chance you know the measurements and counts fo...Any chance you know the measurements and counts for the bearings.
