Triumph Other description

This 1963 Triumph TS20 Cub Trials is from the Hamilton Triumph Motorcycle Museum in Apache Junction, Arizona.  It was restored by renown Triumph expert Dave Wedlake of Portland, Oregon.
It is on display in our collection but is being sold to make room for new acquisitions.

According to Mike Edstall’s excellent book “The Triumph Tiger Cub Bible” theTS20 was a very rare “Works Replica” model developed to be as near as could be to the machines used by the factory riders. There were 340 TS20s produced in 1963 and 97% of them were shipped to the US.

The TS20 features an upswept exhaust system with an extension pipe rather than a silencer used on its sister bike, the TR20. It has a short competition seat, polished alloy mudguards, no lights, no toolbox and no prop or center stand (although Dave Wedlake included a prop stand on this restoration for convenience). The bike had heavy weight front suspension and wide braced handlebars. Its tank is painted the same color as that of the 1962 Bonneville … Hi-Fi Scarlet over Silver Sheen.

Edstall reports that the TS20 did not come with the “D” shaped speedometer found on the TR20, but Dave Wedlake is certain this speedometer was original on the bike before he restored it and he has seen the TS20 sporting the “D” shaped speedometer in pictures from period Johnston Motors literature.  The odometer was not set back to zero at restoration and shows 5247 miles. 

The TS20 boasted ET ignition and Dunlop “knobbies”, 2.75 x 21 on the front and 3.50 X 18 on the back. Nowadays, Dunlop knobbies are even rarer than the hard to find Dunlop Trials that were fitted to the sister bike TR20. As a result, Dave had to make due with aftermarket tires on this restoration. Our bike has the very interesting D shaped Vokes filter flowing air to its Amal Monobloc 376/272 carburetor.

This Triumph has been on display for several years and not ridden so the buyer will need to service it if riding it is desired.

It has a clear Washington State title.
