Tamarit Triumphs

Post by Whysub »

Their workshop is just 5 miles from me, never knew it was there. Sent them your Triumph twin, and they will transform it. In house design, welding, CNC milling, wheel building, and paintshop. One they had just completed was about to go back to its owner in London.
Got a tour of the place by the owner and chief designer. The quality of tye work was just superb.

Why not just roll the bike in glue and throw cheap tat at it, the effect would be the same.

All produced in house, very little bought in, and that is mainly the switch gear and lights. Seats and tanks, fairings, etc made from scratch, as are the frames and swing arms. Incidentally, they can build the oil cooler in the frame down tubes, never seen that elsewhere.

I've seen hundreds of custom builds over the years, and these are some of the best built I have seen. Not for me, but I appreciate both the artistic design side of them, and the engineering involved

Everything is bespoke. A bit more than buying a brown vinyl covered seat from ebay and banging it on your CX500

Kinda reminds me of chopper mags in the 70s and 80s. Dolly Parton springs to mind when she said,'people have no idea how much it costs to look this cheap'.

LOL. Hark at all the bike Puritans. :lol:

No ADVs, no scooters, no bling, no brown seats, no BMWs, no cruisers, no top boxes, no riding in the rain, no bar end mirrors.....oh... :hmmm:

Yes - I walked out of the Bike Shed after my coffee and Diet Coke hadn’t arrived after 40 mins . Loads of staff everywhere - but happily talking to each other .

Might be top notch work but also trying far too hard... IMO

Doesn't matter if they aren't building something I'd like, it's good to know that kind of engineering talent is still alive and kicking!
