Triumph French Army Cub
Triumph French Army Cub nearing completion in June 2013. It just needs a rear light, mirror and some tinkering. This was all before the bike was started and the oil leaks began. I have been able to cure nearly all of them now and the bike has completed over 400 miles. I will be trying the AMAL Monobloc carb soon to see if there is any difference from the Mikuni currently fitted. It goes well but the original French army gearing means a very low first and second, followed by a fair gap to third and then a BIG gap to top gear. I have a smaller rear sprocket so when I finally achieve a cruising speed in fourth, it is not revving too much. I find it happy to run at 40 - 45MPH and it has been up to 50MPH already but I was worried about the brakes so slowed down!
