We love featuring bikes built by Gilbert Sills of the Cretingham Crank Company.

Here is another one!

Triumph Bobber, pre unit 500 engine with a Bonneville crankshaft fitted giving approximately 530cc

In 2010 Robert Slater purchased a Triumph 3TA from us & had it shipped to Penang where he restored it.

While we were hoping to make this into a money spinner, it has proved to be uneconomical.

So you'll just have to take your classic motorcycle rodent problems elsewhere !!!

Roger at our workshop

Our friend & customer Roger - he who has bought more than 100 motorcycles from us - is seen here being useful & sorting out a blown head gasket on a Triumph. Roger learned his skills fixing Vickers Valiant V bombers in the RAF - is this Triumph going to blow up!!!
