The term Triton came about as many private builders (and even some dealerships in London) started to take the best features of Triumphs and Nortons – the engine from the former and the frame from the latter – to make a bike that had the best of both worlds. Triton combines the two names (and is also the name of a Greek God). Most Tritons utilized the Norton Featherbed frame and utilized a 650 or 750 Triumph engine.
Today’s example uses the frame from a ’64 Norton Atlas and mates it to a Triumph TR6R bottom end with a Bonneville head. The front end/fork assembly is from a 70s Triumph, and there’s an occasional minor oil leak. The seller gives a great overview of the bike here:
This specific Triton has 10,000 miles and has plenty of upgrades, including the oil tank from a Manx, Pazon electronic ignition, PWK carbs, Dunstall pipes, and lots more.
