Quite a convincing looking old trialler, but Catamite is a stupid name for a bike.

This blurb is just shit:
In 1952, Triumph introduced the Tiger Cub,
It was introduced for the 1954 season.
it was definitely a cut above all the wheezing Villiers-powered 2-stroke British bikes of the day.”
Until it destroyed its bottom end. Then the rather well-made Villiers could be seen to be a cut above the Cub.

I think your autocorrect might have got itself in a tizz...

A catamount is a cougar... a catamite is something rather different!
