I found an older post with a similar title and thought to reply to it but the last post was two
years ago and I thought this deserved a new topic.

Anyway, a few years ago I rescued a bike that was listed in the paper as a "Triumph Cun".
Figuring he meant "Cub" I called him up and picked up this thing from the side of the guys barn.

It was in ROUGH shape, missing the engine, tank, seat etc. I started collecting parts for it on
eBay, even found most of an engine though it wasn't a T20M but a regular old T20.

I even listed this thing on the Cub website that was started back in 2000 or so and it was through
here that I found out that my bike was a Commerford's Cub... well at least the frame was.

It was at that point that I stopped restoration because I didn't want to screw this thing up, all
I wanted was an old bike to work on and ride. I had picked up another T20 parts bike down
at Provin Triumph in Pittsford, Vt to swap parts on... I stopped that too and now both bikes
sit in my basement.

Main question is... what should I do with it... is it worth fixing up in the mess that it's in? Would
you do it if you were me? I'll post a picture of it, the only difference between the picture and
the way it is now is that I've removed the heavily chipped blue paint and given it a coat of
primer, cleaned it up and disassembled and boxed everything.

you now you want to, so do it, if you build it as a rideable cub it will be ok if you start to go down the road of this has got to be a perfect
replica of what it was it will certainly cost.
