    Hi, Beautiful bicycle, Triumph was always my favorite bike brand, I've had quite a few through the 1970s to 1990s when I lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England.
    Spent numerous days back then cycling through the Sussex countryside and around town with my family, friends, and on my own.
    I have had a few bikes with the rod brakes, but preferred the cable operated side pull rim brakes.
    The dynohub lighting system was really great, not the brightest but reliable, and saved a fortune on batteries. The SA three speeds were extremely reliable. SA also did a four-speed, but I believe they were pretty rare, and I only ever came across one.
    My Dad also had a Triumph road bike, three speed, which he used daily to commute to work on. One day, he road it to and from Brighton, a round trip of over 50 miles. By this time, I'd moved onto 5 and 10 speed bikes, including a Carlton Corsa which made cycling long distances much easier.
    I cycled Eastbourne to Portsmouth on it one day, a long tiring ride. Another long ride was to my aunt and uncle in Ashford, Kent, but I stayed overnight that time so was more rested for the journey home.
    In the early 1980s, I got a Triumph 10 speed from Halfords, which was a nice bike as well.
    I still have a collection of bikes to this day where I live in California USA. I recently added my first ebike, a Nakto Camel mens, which is fun to ride and makes the hills etc easier as I'm now 63 years old.
    I still also ride my regular bikes.
    I don't have a Triumph now though, but maybe one day.......

    What's the silver tube in the down tube connecting crankle set and the fork ?

      Could be the rod brakes. Very 1950s!

      I haven’t, but I think they have been changed in the past.

    I too have a Triumph Roadster, but although mine has two more wheels than yours I fear its acceleration may be poorer....

    What a lovely bicycle. Yes, they are a real pain to ride and (not) stop, but so cool. Thanks for filming and sharing with us.
