I was already up to speed on the automotive and motorcycle histories; I've owned a Trophy 500, a couple Bonnevilles, and had the poor judgment to own three Tridents. I'm mainly curious to know if there are any consumer catalogs or literature of that sort floating around. I've seen Triumph middleweights, but this is the first lightweight I've come across. The components are indeed just like a Record of the period; Nervar crank, Huret Allvit mechs. Apparently they saved the $5.00 by using Phillips brakes and levers, and not striping the lugs. The geometry has a real roadster look; long chainstays, lots of rake and trail. I'll post a couple pics later.
