I know you have seen Rickmans for sale before, however this is the most complete and original model from the original Rickman factory to date. I purchased the complete "Rolling Chassis" from the Rickman brothers in early 1973 which was a 1972 model. Then I purchased a 1974 low mileage Triumph 650cc Bonneville later that same year. I took the motor to Big 'D' Cycles for a complete overall at which time they balanced the motor. It wasn't until 1983 that I got around to completing the bike and getting it titled. Since then I have only managed to put 2,672 miles on the bike. I have ten classic bikes so it takes me a while to get around to them all. A couple of years ago I sent the wheels to Buchanams for SS Spokes and chrome Nipples which look great on the flanged Borranni 18'" rims. Along the way I also installed SS brake lines front and rear. I have the original assembly manual as well as all of the swing arm chain adjusters. Most of the pictures were taken before I found the correct head light faring which you will see in one of the pictures. While the tank is fiberglass I had it coated at time of assembly and have always drained the gas after each ride. Lately I have only used ethanol free 94 octane gas. This chasse could also be fitted with a Honda CB 750, BSA or Triumph Triple. I contacted the Rickman owners club only on and they estimate that there were few Triumph Competition Replica frames made. Even in the book "History of Rickman" there is no mention of this model. As you know frames are made of Reynolds 531 tubing and nickel plated. Oil is carried in the frame. So now I have owned this bike fore over 40 years. It's in as new or better shape but it's time to let someone have it that's a little younger. Please feel free to ask any questions.
